Now that we have made simple line drawings, let's spice things up with more blocks from the Shapes tab. The cube block, cuboid block, sphere block, and tube1 block blocks create a shape in the location of your beetle.

The start extruding block and stop extruding block blocks are another version of the drawing blocks. Extruding produces a three dimensional "line" as opposed to a thin line that is produced from drawing. Try drawing the cube from the last page using the extruding block. Is there a difference between using the curves option and the lines option on the start extruding block?

Now, let's draw something simple in a 3D space. Try drawing a cube or making a cube block that draws the edges of a cube.
