Creating geometry

The first thing we are going to do is to learn how to create geometry as follows:

From the top menu, go to File | New Scene. This will give us a fresh start to build our project.
Next, because we already have Prototype installed, let's create a cube by hitting Ctrl + K.
Right now, the Position value of our cube (with its name as pb-Cube-1562 or something similar) is 2, -7, -2. But for simplicity's sake, I'm going to place it in the middle of the world. We can do this by typing in 0, 0, 0 by going over to the Inspector tab, going to the Transform component and then clicking on the X position. Notice that the cursor is now automatically in the Y slot. Type in 0 and press Tab again. Then, in the Z slot, press 0.
Tip
