In this exercise students will tour VIZ, setup units, create solids, and transform solids by modeling a very simple house.

Exercise

1) Set units to be inches/feet with inches as the default unit.
2) Toggle the viewports to 4 viewport layout
3) Create the following solids: Box 20'x40'x20' Pyramid 20'x40'x10' Sphere 3'dia. Plane 300'x300', 20 grids try other solids ...
4) Create the following AEC objects: Door 36"x 6'-8"x1.75"(frame 6") Stair 36"wide x 10' overall rise x 9.5" treads A tree
5) Modify the geometry: Box - 19' tall Stairs - 10' tall change colours change object names
6) Create layers and place each object on appropriate layer (follow CAD standards)
7) Transforms set grids and snaps rotate pyramid to orient to house move pyramid on top of house put stair on side of house scale sphere 110% and place on front of roof place door in front of house clone stairs (instance) to other side of house
