This tutorial assumes that you have worked through the key fob
tutorial beforehand. Completion of the ring tutorial beforehand is not
essential, but helpful.
There are several distinct steps in the process of modelling a simple

This tutorial covers in detail only the new learning you'll need. If you
get stuck on the other steps that aren't explained in detail, refer back
