the size. Alternatively, you can click on any one of the handles or control handles and type the
                 required dimension in the text box.

                 To move the selected object along the Z-axis (up and down on the Workplane), click and drag the
                 triangle handle at the top of the shape.

























                           WORKPLANE TOOL

                 The Workplane in Tinkercad is a temporary reference grid that allows users to place and align

                 objects on different surfaces of a model. It helps in positioning shapes accurately on angled or
                 elevated surfaces instead of the default ground plane.

                 To define  a Workplane  in Tinkercad,
                 follow these steps:
                 Step  1   Click  on the  Workplane
                           button or press the W key on
                           the keyboard.

                 Step  2   Move  your  cursor over the
                           surface  where you  want  to
                           place  the  new Workplane.
                           Click on the desired surface.

                 Now, you can place objects on the new Workplane. Any new shape added will align with the newly
                 set Workplane instead of the default ground plane.
                 To return to the default Workplane, click the Workplane tool again and then click anywhere in the

                 empty space.

                 Navigating a 3D workspace efficiently is essential for working with 3D models. Various tools and
                 controls allow users to adjust their view and interact with the environment seamlessly.
