Written walkthrough

A chair is a table with one more idea: a back rest grown from the seat with Draw a shape.

1. Stamp the four legs

Legs first, always: skinny Cylinders, one near each corner-to-be, tidied into a rectangle with Move .

2. Lay the seat across them

Size a Cube wide and flat, tap the top of any leg, Stamp; it settles across all four.

3. Raise the back rest

Switch to Grow and flip to Draw a shape . Tap the seat’s top face and trace a strip along its back edge. A drawn outline may hug the face’s edge as long as it touches in one continuous stretch, and that’s exactly what a back rest does. Close the loop, set the Depth tall, and press Build. The back rises out of the seat in one go.

4. Color it

Fill it in warm wood, or diner red with a pattern on the seat.

Armchairs are the same trick twice more: two short strips drawn along the seat’s side edges, Built a few steps tall.
