there are a series of images included. they are what you need to follow the instructions below. the goal is to get yours to look as closely to mine as possible. the more it does, the better your grade will be. [note: my images did get a bit skewed proportionally while importing them, so stick to the dimensions below rather than just 'eye-balling' the dimensions.]
the main box is 12' x 12' x 12'
it is set at a 45* angle to the x-axis.
based from the origin (0,0,0)
the hole removed from the inside is a 5' x 5' x 5' box.
based from point (5',5',5').
set at an angle of 0*.
'b-split' the small box from the larger.
move the remians of the small box from the inside of the bigger to the top of the void created by it's removal and 'difference' that piece out.

these steps will create the geometry of the inner void of the final piece.
change your picking parameter from 'object' to 'hole/volume' and select the inner void. round the edges of that void. 'p-round' options box check the box that says "adjust radius to fit angle".
the four side-edges of the big box are rounded as a 'p-round'. check the same box in the options menu. the edges on the front and back faces are not rounded. to do this, the pick parameter needs to be changed from 'hole/volume' to 'segment' and the specific line segments selected.

the main box should have the material parameters at the left in the "outside box" help image. set this material up just like this.
the inside faces of the inner-void should be materialized just like the help image entitled "style 1".
add a spot light that shines into the void so as to not loose it visibly.
good luck. this quiz is due at the beginning of class on monday. we will be printing it out on
the phaser 850.
