TinkerCad for Beginners

Where it all begins. The Workplane is the ground on which you build your palace

The basic building blocks of life in a 3d program. Use these to create your masterpieces.

Don't be stuck working on the ground. Use this tool to customize your starting point and gain control over where your shapes end up.

Get your shapes from A-Z. How you do it is up to you

Turn your objects around and see them from another angle

Big or small, scaling does it all. Squish and stretch your shapes like clay to make them your own.

Smooth out those rough edges with steps and segments

Feeling blue? Then change that red cube to a more sky-like hue

When one isn't enough, get more out of a single shape. Like they say, 2 spheres are better than one!

Put your shapes together and have them work as a team

Don't be monochrome, switch up those colors and make it pretty

Cut it out! Literally, cut one shape out of another

• Look behind you! And also to the left, right, front, top and bottom of you. There's lots to see

• Like closing one eye to see through a telescope, sometimes depth perception can get in the way.

Let's see how we can use the tools that we have gone over up to this point, to make a bulding.

Just can't line up your shapes in just the exact way? The Align Tool is what you're looking for

Rotation not working out? Use the Flip Tool

• You can carry more than one shape at a time. Learn how here.
• Too much clutter in your scene? Clean it up and make some room

Be ambidextrous when you design. Trust me, your wrist will thank you

When you're done working, now it's time to show off to your friends and family. Find out how in this lesson.
