Basic Solid Objects
by Peter Williams and Stanley Chung

To start today's lesson we need to create some 3D figures to show the rendering patterns.  First, start by making a 3x3 box.  Then type the command "ext" for extrude and extrude the box a height of 3 with no taper.  Now switch to the SW Isometric views by going to view > 3D views > SW Isometric and you should have a cube.
 
Then create a Sphere by going to Draw > Solids > Sphere and specify a radius of 3.
