Trimming Objects - page 7
Use the Extrude Tool (Ctrl+E) to apply an extrusion with the following settings: back parallel, VP locked to object, object center, Horizontal 0, Vertical -1.70. If the result is too deep or shallow adjust the vertical dimension until it looks right.
To create the Flat Head Phillips Screw - Draw a circle (F7+Ctrl) and a rectangle (F6) similar in size to what is shown. Use the Transform Roll-Up to apply a 90 degree rotation  to a duplicate of the rectangle. Weld them together with the Weld command. Select both screw head objects and align (Ctrl+A) Horizontally and Vertically. Apply the isometric ellipse effect by applying a "57.4 percent Vertical Scale" Now rotate the result 120 degrees.
Now add the screw head to the block. Position, size and align the top screw head then duplicate (Ctrl+D) and use the constrain (Ctrl) key while moving to the lower position.
