 Make the cube a child of the sphere (drag-and- drop in the Object
manager).
 In the Coordinate manager, ensure that Scale is selected (middle drop-down
list).
 In the Object manager, select the sphere.
 Select the Object tool.
 In the Coordinate manager, set the X value for Scale to 2.
 In the viewport, select the cube and rotate it about its Z-axis.
As you rotate the cube, it distorts (Figure 1, below). Now we are ready to see
how such distortions — caused by using the Object tool instead of the Model
tool during the modeling stage — can be corrected using the Reset System
command.

Figure 3. Figure 4.
 Take the cube out of the sphere hierarchy so that it is no longer a child (drag-
and-drop in the Object manager). The X-axis and Y-axis no longer form a right
angle (Figure 2).
- Ensure that the Cube object is selected.
