Figure 8.17 shows the result.
Figure 8.17 Using Multishift, extend the end polygons just a bit further.
33. Turn Multishift off, then turn it on again to extend the selection just one more
time. But this time, only apply a Shift value of 240mm (Figure 8.18).
Figure 8.18 Multishift the selection again, but only for a Shift value, not an Inset.

34. Close the Numeric panel and turn off the Multishift tool. Then, deselect the
polygons.
35. Save your work!
36. Select the four points that make up the very center of the newly created polygons,
and size them down, as in Figure 8.19. This helps even out the mesh at the end,
and will allow you to add additional Multishift operations if you want.
You??™re probably wondering at this point how it??™s all coming together, so before
you move on to add more details, how about taking a look at the overall progress?
Figure 8.19 Scale down the center points on the end of the geometry.
37. Make sure any points or polygons are deselected. Then, press a to fit all objects
to view.
38. Press the Tab key.What? You got an error? That??™s OK??”don??™t worry.
