1. Open Modeler and select the Box tool from the Create tab. Create a Box in the
bottom-left (Back) view, about 10m by 5m, with multiple segments. You can do
this by pressing n to open the Numeric panel, then setting the number of segments.
Create about 24 segments or so for the X and 14 for the Y. This doesn??™t
have to be exactly like it is here; just make sure your box has many segments so
that it can be broken apart. Figure 14.11 shows the model.
Figure 14.11 Create a box in Modeler that has multiple segments along its X- and Y-axes.
2. If you??™ve created your flat box and can??™t see it in the Perspective view, press f to
flip its polygons.
3. Press Shift+j to activate the Jitter tool (also found on the Modify tab).
4. In the Jitter panel that appears (Figure 14.12), enter 400mm for both the X and Y
values. Leave the Z-axis setting at 0. You??™re not creating any depth on the Z, as
you??™re creating just a flat window.
Figure 14.12 Use the Jitter tool to shake up the shape of the polygons.
5. Switch to Points selection mode at the bottom of the interface.
