In an effort to learn 3-D modeling...

[modernwizard]

I have downloaded Wings3D, a free modeling app, and am following the tutorial in the user's manual on how to model a [very elaborate] doghouse. I have no need for a doghouse, but the tutorial does get me familiar with the program. So far everything seems pretty intuitive, responsive and user-friendly, although I can't figure out how to easily view my model from the bottom...or how to rotate it un-automatically.
