• Box B - Size: (7.00, 26.00, 50.00)
• Box B - Pos:(12.00, 0.00, 7.00)
• Union
Start with two boxes
Add a third box

• Box C - Size:(30.00, 26.00, 32.00)
• Box C - Pos:(12.00, 9.00, 14.00)
• Union
Add a third box
Add a cylinder

• Cylinder A - Size: (360.00, 52.00, 4.00)
• Cylinder A - Pos: (25.00, 51.00, 7.00)
• Cylinder A - Rot: (90˚, 1.00, 0.00, 0.00)
• Cut
Add a cylinder
Add another cylinder

• Cylinder B - Size: (360.00, 50.00, 7.60)
• Cylinder B - Pos: (25.00, 50.00, 27.50)
• Cylinder B - Rot: (90˚, 1.00, 0.00, 0.00)
• Cut
Add another cylinder
One more cylinder

• Cylinder C - Size: (360.00, 50.00, 7.50)
• Cylinder C - Pos: (25.00, 25.00, -2.00)
• Cylinder C - Rot: (0˚, 1.00, 0.00, 0.00)
• Cut
