First, you will create a base from cylinders. Then, you will build a moveable
arm at an angle, also using cylinders. Finally, you will build a lampshade using
spheres, which will then be assembled onto the arm.
As you gain experience in using Alias, choosing a modeling strategy will
become a natural part of your workflow.
To help you build the desk lamp model, an exercise file has been provided
which contains outline sketches of the design.
