Time for action – adding the boat name
Now, it's time to add the boat name and affix it to the stern of the sloop:
- Open the file of the sloop that you saved before working on the boat names.
- Press Z to get Solid shading. Press A to deselect all objects.
- Press Ctrl + NumPad 3 to get the Left side view.
- In the File menu, select Append.
- Find
4909OS_09_sloop_Miss_Blender_Nassau.blend, or the file you made with your favorite boat name. - Open the Object folder.
- Select Miss_Blender_Nassau or the name you chose for your boat with Shift + LMB. Choose the name from the Object directory.
- Press the LMB on the Link/Append from Library button.
- Press G and move the name to the stern of the boat where you can see it, and then press the LMB to release it.
- Press R, Z, 180, and Enter.
- Press S, 0.4, and Enter.
- Now, the name needs to be rotated into the proper orientation. Minus 90 degrees would turn it straight up, but if you recall in Chapter 8, Making the Sloop, we angled the stern of the sloop -27 degrees...
