In summary, throughout this chapter you've built up fine control of modeling tools and should understand the various ways to access those tools, namely the Command Panel parameters, the Ribbon, and the Quad menu. We considered the separation of processes that contribute to a base model for the processes that contribute to surface detail on a model. For the base model, the repeated use of a few tools underlies most modeling procedures, and hopefully you'll be able to achieve the insight into determining which tools to use in a given situation, and the fluency to work through the base modeling process quickly.
In the next chapter, we continue to explore elements of model construction using the same Robot Spider we've built, adding legs and other features, particularly focused on deriving curved surface geometry from 2D Shape objects.
