In this tutorial we will use box modeling to create a security padlock.
We'll start by creating in the Top View a box 30 units long, 80 units wide and 70 units high with 1 Length Segs, 3 Width Segs and 1 Height Segment.
Convert the box to an Editable Poly (right-click > Convert To > Convert To Editable Poly) or (if you have Max 9.0) add an Edit Poly modifier. Then go into Vertex editing mode (shortcut: "1").
