OR
                            Enter an exact scale value in the text boxes
                            that appear when the object is selected, for
                            precise adjustments.

                  To keep  the  centre  of the  object  fixed  while scaling,
                  press  Alt and drag the  object.  This will scale  the
                  object  while maintaining its  centre. To maintain the
                  proportions of an object while resizing, hold the Shift
                  key as you drag. This keeps the object's shape intact as
                  it scales. For more control, hold both Shift and Alt keys
                  while dragging the top handle. This will scale the object

                  evenly from its centre, maintaining balance as it resizes.



                            ADJUSTING THE SNAP GRID


                  The Snap Grid in Tinkercad helps align objects precisely by restricting their movement to specific
                  increments. This ensures that objects are positioned accurately and evenly on the workspace.
                  To change the Snap Grid, follow these steps:

                  Step  1   On the  bottom-right  of the  screen,  click  the Snap  Grid  button.
                            A drop-down menu will appear.
                  Step  2   Click on the Snap Grid value (usually set to 1 mm by default).
                  Step  3   From the drop-down menu, select 2 mm.
                  Step  4   The Snap Grid will now be set to 2 mm, and any object you move will
                            snap to 2 mm increments.




                            GROUPING SHAPES

                  Grouping objects in Tinkercad allows you to combine multiple shapes into a single object, making
                  it easier to move, rotate, and scale them together. It simplifies the design process, helps maintain
                  alignment, and ensures that modifications are applied to the entire group at once.
                  To group shapes, follow these steps:

                  Step  1   Click on the cube to select it.

                  Step  2   Hold down the Shift key and click on the cone to select both shapes.
                  Step  3   With both shapes selected, click the Group button on the toolbar.
                            OR

                            press Ctrl + G on the keyboard. The two shapes will turn the same colour, indicating they
                            are grouped together.
