3D · Lesson 3 of 12Build a Bookshelf

Build a Precise Bookshelf

Create a simple bookshelf using exact dimensions.

Specifications

Build a bookshelf with these parts:

  • Back panel: 4 wide × 5 tall × 0.2 deep

  • Bottom shelf: 4 wide × 0.2 tall × 1 deep

  • Top shelf: Same as bottom

  • Middle shelf: Same dimensions, positioned at Y = 2.5

Steps

  1. 1Create the back panel (box)

- Scale: X=4, Y=5, Z=0.2
- Position: X=0, Y=2.5, Z=-0.4

  1. 2Create bottom shelf (box)

- Scale: X=4, Y=0.2, Z=1
- Position: X=0, Y=0.1, Z=0

  1. 3Duplicate for top shelf

- Position: X=0, Y=4.9, Z=0

  1. 4Duplicate for middle shelf

- Position: X=0, Y=2.5, Z=0

Tips

  • Enter exact values in Properties panel
  • Use Shift+D to duplicate quickly
  • Name parts: Back, Shelf_Bottom, Shelf_Top, Shelf_Middle

Success Criteria

  • At least 4 objects
  • All properly positioned and scaled
