4. Using the left red dot as a center point, create a circle 1” (25 mm) in diameter. Click the
green check mark, then the Finish Edit Mode button, to complete the shape.
Next, you need to create the top of the leg.
5. Select the Select Profile 2 button and then Edit Profile from the Swept Blend panel. Using
the Y-reference plane as the right side of the box, create a rectangle centered on the X-axis
1” × 3” (25 mm × 75 mm). Click Finish Edit Mode when you’ve finished. The two shapes
will look like Figure 14.42.

6. With those two profiles and a path complete, click Finish Edit Mode again to complete the
sweep. You now have one leg of your stool.
7. To finish the base, select the leg and choose the Array tool. In the Options bar, set these
options:

◆ ◆ Choose a radial array.
◆ ◆ Leave the Number of arrayed items at 3.
◆ ◆ Change the Angle to 360.
◆ ◆ Change the rotation center to the middle of the X-Y reference planes.
◆ ◆ Click OK to finish the array.
You should now have a set of stool legs (Figure 14.43).
