I wanted to choose a part that would use many of the new commands.
Surface Creation (extrude and revolve)
Surface Loft
Surface Knit
Surface Thicken
maybe replace face
etc...
all in one part
The point is not to create the part the most efficient way but to illustrate
how to use each of the commands.
I think maybe the prop would be a good 2nd lesson...
