| + | |||
| + | The **Shear** command will help rotate items while keeping an axis constant. For example rotating a circle from side view will actually resize it because the Z position of the vertices will move while using the Shear command will keep the size of the circle constant. | ||

| + | * Build the general outline first and then shapes can be cut out ensuring the topology matches up. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Build the shapes roughly at first, loop cuts can be added in a second pass to refine the details. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Use the **Smooth Vertices** command to average out the topology. | ||
