Boxes & Cubes
Create boxes and cubes for the main structure.
Use the protractor tool
Measure angles and create angled shapes with the
protractor tool.
Edit & Refine
1
Edit
Adjust shapes and sizes as
needed.
2
Refine
Add details such as bevels,
fillets, and patterns to your
furniture.
3
Check your
Dimensions
Ensure all dimensions are
accurate for a realistic model.
Textures & Materials
Add Materials
Add textures and materials to
your model such as wood
grain and polished metal.
Open source
libraries
Use open-source libraries
such as 3D Warehouse and
Sketchfab to browse for
furniture models and
materials.
Color Selection
RGB color codes can be used
to select specific colors for
your designs.
Exporting & Sharing
Export options
Choose from different file formats
including STL and OBJ, for use in
other software packages.

media or export them for sharing
with friends and clients.
3D Printing
Export for 3D printing using STL
format.
Best Practices
1 Start simple
Start with simple designs and gradually
work your way up to more complex ones.
2
Stay organized
Organize your design into components
and layers. 3 Work in sections
Work on one piece of furniture at a time.
4
