Repeat for the
        
        
          opposing side
        
        
          and top using
        
        
          appropriate off-
        
        
          set distances.
        
        
          The ends are a
        
        
          bit different. The
        
        
          top and bottom
        
        
          stiffeners should
        
        
          be 6” wide, but
        
        
          the sides should
        
        
          be 4” wide. To do
        
        
          this use the offset
        
        
          tool and create
        
        
          a rectangle with
        
        
          a 6” offset. Take
        
        
          the Move tool,
        
        
          click the right
        
        
          side of the inner
        
        
          rectangle, move
        
        
          it slightly to the
        
        
          right, and type “2
        
        
          Enter.” Similarly
        
        
          move the left
        
        
          side 2” to the left.
        
        
          Push it in 2” and
        
        
          you have as seen
        
        
          in [9]
        
        
          Repeat on the
        
        
          other end to fin-
        
        
          ish the model.
        
        
          You could export a Collada file and have a model made, but
        
        
          you pay for volume and a solid model costs more. So we want
