How+to+Make+Windows+on+a+Tall+Building

= **Make Windows on a Tall Building** = Tall Cube
 * 1.** Start with a tall cube.

Color the glass and frame. You can Push/Pull the frame to make it stick out from the building. Add one window and color with the Paint Bucket Tool.
 * 2.** Make a window in the lower left corner of one face.

Right click and select "Make component". Component dialogue box. Copy the window with the Move Tool and Control button.
 * 3.** Turn this window into a component. It will be easier to repeat and place more windows. They will not be “sticky”. Sticky shapes are attached to the walls. When you move these shapes, everything that touches the shape also moves. This is very frustrating.
 * Select the window and the frame. To do this, use the select tool.
 * Hold down the shift key while you click on both the window and the frame. Both should become spotted.
