	The create tab is the default tab shown after startup. Several basic shapes can be selected. From a historical point of view a teapot is one of the basic shapes of 3d modeling applications. Just click on the button Teapot changing the color of the button into orange. Click and drag in the Perspective viewport. The teapot will arise and change in size by dragging the mouse. Next, click on the button Box changing the color of that button into orange. Click and drag in the Perspective view next to the teapot. While dragging you determine the base of the box. Release the mouse button and gently drag upwards. This will change the height of the box. Click once to fixate the height. The first models are ready. Lets see if we can show these models in FS2004.
