2. Step 2: Key Tools and Commands Covered:

   
   

   ✔ Extrude Boss/Base – Create the foundation of the tile pattern

   ✔ Delete Face – Modify and refine geometry for smooth transitions

   ✔ Extrude Surface – Generate surface-based designs with flexibility

   ✔ Knit Surface – Merge multiple surfaces into a single entity

   ✔ Fillet – Apply smooth edges for a polished look

   ✔ Fill Surface – Close open regions and create continuous surfaces

   ✔ Circular Pattern – Replicate elements efficiently

   ✔ Combine – Merge solid bodies into a unified design

   ✔ Move/Copy Body – Adjust and reposition components easily

   ✔ Flex – Add curvature and unique deformations

   ✔ Change Appearance – Customize the final visual style
