Step 5: CREATING A CYLINDER

We are going to be creating a cylinder in this step. Thie cylinder will be used in later steps to cut circles in your box.

Step 5:

From the Main Tool Bar you will select PRIMITIVES then CYLINDER to create this object. We will give this cylinder a diameter of 15mm.

What is a radius and diameter?

While the radius of a circle runs from its center to its edge, the diameter runs from edge to edge and cuts through the center. – a circle’s radius is half the length of its diameter 

Step 5a:


Enter the size and dimensions of the cylinder. Once you click the CYLINDER option the PRECISON TAB will open enter a diameter of 15mm (make sure you have the correct radius) The Lenght size will not matter go ahead and play around with different lengths.
