This tutorial is a beginner tutorial on modeling a can pull tab. I try to review some of the elementary polygon modeling concepts involved, but I also assume you are not totally new to polygon modeling and subdivision surfaces. This tutorial uses Design 3D 7's new template images and multi-edge bridging, but with a couple of adjustments could easily be done in CX 6.
