- [Teacher] Over the last chapter we did a lot of work setting up a panel array of each of the individual 3D parts that make up our overall form. So in this video and over the next couple of videos we'll tackle labeling each of those individual parts. So I'm continuing where I left off from the last video. As you can see, I've got all of my individual panels laid out here in Rhino, and although each one is unique, they look very similar. So if we try to feed these to a CNC router and ended up with a big pile of panels cut out of wood or some other material we would really be up a creek. We would not be able to know which ones go where and how to assemble our overall form, so really important that we label these and that during that fabrication process we carve the labels into each panel so we know where each one goes. So let's start to do that work of adding labels to each of the 3D panels. So in Rhino, really quick I'll switch to one of my side views, either the front or the right…
