Go to the Geometric figures library and create a paraboloid. Rotate the part 270 ° along the X-axis, and in the Properties window change the dimensions to X: 40，Y: 120，Z: 40 mm and position to X: 0，Y: 0，Z: 20. This part will be called the plane body. Tip: For instructions on rotating objects refer to the beginner tutorials.   Make a Capsule from the Geometric figures library, and rotate it 90° along the X-axis. In the Properties window change its dimensions to X: 40，Y: 30，Z: 40 mm and position to X: 0，Y: -70，Z: 20. This will be called the engine.   Create a Cylinder and rotate it 90° along the X-axis. In the Properties window change the dimensions to X: 30，Y: 20，Z: 30 mm and adjust the position to X: 0，Y: -80，Z: 20. This will be called the cutting part.   Select the engine and click on Hole, then click on

Create a cube and enlarge the Z dimension value to 60mm. Next, rotate the cube 20° along the X axis and call it the cutting part. Change the center support’s color so we can see it more clearly.   Move the cutting part to the same position as shown in the image above. This will be used to cut the overhanging part of the support. Shown in the red circle above, this area is where you need to check the edge alignment of where the two supports intersect.   Select the cutting part and click on the Clone button, move the copied cutting part as shown in the image above. The same as before, this will be used to cut the overhanging part of the support so carefully check the edge alignment of where the two supports intersect.   When you zoom out, the plane should look as above.

On the left hand side you will find the model bar; in this menu, locate and click on the pyramid icon labeled Geometric figures library(1), then double click on the cube icon(2). A cube that is selected will drop into the center of the grid. Tip: If you just click on the icon once, you can drag the 3D object and place it in the grid manually.   In the Properties window change the cube’s dimensions to X: 120，Y: 60，Z: 100 mm.   Because the cube’s height increased, the bottom half is now obscured by the modeling grid. Press the Land button to stick the base of the cube to the modeling grid.   Select the cube and press the Clone button, this will create a duplicate cube in the same position.   In the Properties window of the duplicate cube, change its dimensions to X: 110，Y: 50，Z: 100 mm

In the model toolbar, click on the crown icon (Special), and select the XYZprinting logo.   When you single click on the XYZprinting logo, the part will follow your cursor in the modeling grid. Left/right mouse click to place the logo in front of the pen holder.   If the part is too small and it’s hard to edit the control points, you can use the Properties window to enlarge the part’s dimensions first. Select the XYZprinting logo and in the Properties window click on the Lock icon.   In the properties window, change the X axis dimension to 70mm, all other axis will scale accordingly.   Take the XYZprinting logo and move it to the same position as above.   Inspect the model to any modeling errors. In this example the XYZprinting logo has passed through the other side of the pen holder.   Click on the control orb’s

In the center of the work plane, create a cube and choose a color in the properties window. From the properties window set the dimensions to X: 105, Y: 5, Z: 20 mm. This part will be called backbone.   Clone backbone (1&2) using the clone tool, then use the mouse button to click and hold the blue Z axis line(3). As shown, drag the model up slightly (4) along this Z axis line.   Take the cloned backbone, and in the properties window, change its dimensions to X: 115，Y: 15，Z: 20 mm, and color to black (4&5). Call this the cutting part. Tip: You can also use the controller orb to freely adjust the part’s X and Y dimensions, you just need to make the cloned part slightly larger than the origin.   Select cutting part (1) and click on X-Ray in the Properties window (2).
