Step 1: Slider base
Shape bank
For this step you will need 2 long rectangles.
- Make your cube shorter and longer.
- Copy and paste your rectangle so you have 2.
- Resize the second one so it is 1/4 inch x 6 1/4 inches
- Adjust the height of rectangle to make it 3/4 inch tall
Step 2: Slider tab
Shape bank
For this step you will need 2 more rectangles that are a bit of a different size this time.
- Copy and paste the smaller rectangle so it is the same size.
- Make it much smaller.
- Move it all the way over to the side and align with the smaller rectangle to make a tab.
- Add one more rectangle on top of the tab that is wider and flatter.
- Select everything and combine using the union tool.
Step 3: Align & Combine
- Copy and paste shape with tab so that there are two.
- Turn one of them from a solid to a hole
- Move, align, and center hole on first rectangle.
- Select hole and solid and combine into one shape using the union tool
