The Slice Plane tool should still be active.
7. You need four slices at each end of the dresser bottom, as shown in Figure 4.58.
Keep in mind that the polygons are selected on the front and back so that the Slice
Plane tool will slice only polygons that are selected within the gizmo. Click the
Slice Plane button to deactivate the tool when you have placed four vertical slices
in all four corners of the front and back bottom lips of the dresser, as shown in
Figure 4.58.

8. Press the spacebar to unlock your selection. You are going to use a combination of moving
edges and polygons to create the detail on the bottom of the dresser as shown here.
Select the relevant polygons, and use the Move tool to place them as shown in Figure 4.59.
Don??™t worry if your adjustments don??™t have a perfectly smooth curve. Unless the camera
is right on top of the detail, it will look good from a distance. A perfect curve is not necessary,
especially for our purposes.
You can use the same techniques in the steps 1 through 8 to create detail in the side
bottom lip of the dresser, as shown in Figure 4.
