Parametric modeling in the modifier stack

“

- [Instructor] The modifier stack is a powerful method for building up prestige role or parametric models from building blocks. Starting from primitives and adding so called modifiers in order to change the shape or have various effects. We'll use that to build a propeller for our little toy drone in this example. So let's start by creating a chamfer box, and that's a box that has rounder corners or filleted or chamfered edges, and it's found in the Create panel, in the Geometry category in the pull down list. Instead of Standard Primitives, we want to choose Extended Primitives. And now we see Chamfer Box. Select that, and click and drag in the perspective view. Hold down the mouse to define the footprint of that chamfer box. Release the mouse and then move the cursor upward to define the height of the chamfer box. Click the mouse once, and then move the cursor to define the chamfer or fillet amount. And once you have some amount of fillet or chamfer, click again to complete the box…
