2. Modeling practice: Beginner level "TV monitor"

• Mode settings
• Removing a cube
• Change viewpoint
• Vertex point display
• Add middle vertex
• Create an edge (Add ONE edge)
• Remove vertex
• Erase edge
• Select TAG
• Switch operation mode
• Scaling (enlargement / reduction)
• Duplicate polygon
• Transfer polygon (Trans)
• Shade display
• Object scaling
• Enter a numerical value for the scale factor
• Check the numerical value of the vertex coordinates
• Split polygon
• Scale freeze
• Save model
