  2. Drag the mouse to define the base. (Press CTRL to constrain the base to a square.)

  3. Release the mouse and move it vertically to define the height of the L-Ext.

  4. Click, and then move the mouse vertically to define the thickness or width of the walls of the L-Ext.

  5. Click to finish the L-Ext.

Interface

Height—Specifies the height of the object.

Side/Front Segs—Specify the number of segments for a specific "leg" of the object.
