Instructions for Building the Customized Pen Holder: To use these instructions, you must select from a series of options. First, choose the number of objects to create. The default setting is 1 object. Next, select the inner diameter of your pen holder. You can choose from a range of diameters with a minimum size of 3.4 and a maximum size not specified. Now, set the thickness of your pen's lead or roller. You may want it to be around 7 units in order to ensure proper functionality. Move on to adjust the spacing between each word printed on your pens' sides. A commonly used setting is 0.81. You also have the option to determine how long your pen holder's lid should be, which defaults at 30. Adjust the internal length of your holder as needed, but remember that it cannot exceed a specified maximum size (set to 125 in this example). You can customize the font scale for your words. You might prefer it set higher or lower than its default setting of 2.1. Do you need more tabs within your design? This number defaults at 1 and can be changed freely. In order to minimize the space required between various objects in this custom model, a small tolerance factor may be needed - defaulting to a value of 0.2 units. Finally, you get to choose who is honored by having their name etched onto your pens; it's a standard greeting message which goes out to everyone, regardless of location or culture: 'Paula'. Set the size of the circular end at the top and tip of the holder at around 4 for best appearance.
