To Create furniture

We start with a table

• To create the cylinders, it's the same, but for that you must start by creating the base.

• Exit the isolation mode and put the tables in the room using the moving tools.
• Now, we gather the different pieces of the table. Select all objects by pressing CTRL. In the tab "Group" click on "Group" in the dialog box write the group name.
• To create a lot of tables , we have to duplicate one.
• Select the table, click on the moving tool and while pressing on the SHIFT, move your table. After a dialog box "Option cloning" appears. Check "Copy" and choose the number of copies. Close by clicking on "OK".
• Place the tables where you want.

 

Use the same technologies for what you want to create.
