Hi again,

 

I need help making simple shapes e.g a box.

 

At the moment i have to use the pre made ones.

 

Someone please help me.

 

I make a simple box shape by extruding but only a few sides are shaded the rest are see though. How can i go about this?

If your original square is all one spline, it does not form a patch.

 

make 3 sides of your square and then add the fourth side. By pressing 9 on the numbers above the letters on your keyboard (NOT THE NUMBER PAD on the right) you will be in shaded mode and you should see a square patch. Then extrude that.

 

8 above the letter keys puts you back in wireframe mode.

0 above " " " " " in shaded wireframe.

There's an advantage to using the primitives supplied, tho. If you just make a box with sharp edges, they will render that way - which isn't natural. Real edges are rounded. It takes a lot more work to make primitives with rounded edges, but wonder of wonders, the ones in the library already have them.
