                 You can add any shape from the Shapes panel in Tinkercad and customise it according to your
                 project requirements. Tinkercad allows you to add Basic Shapes, Design Starters, Creatures &
                 Characters, etc.

                 To add  shapes  from the  Shapes  panel  in
                 Tinkercad, follow these steps:

                           ensure you're on the Workplane.

                 Step  2   On the  right  side  of the screen,
                           locate  the  Shapes panel. Scroll
                           through the panel to  find the
                           shape  you  want to  add,  or use
                           the search bar to find a specific

                           shape.
                 Step  3   Click  and  drag the  shape from

                 The Shape properties panel, also known as the Inspector panel, is a tool in Tinkercad that allows
                 you to view and modify the properties of the selected shape or object in your project. This panel
                 provides a range of options for customising the colour, length, width, height, steps, and more.

                 Step  1   Select any shape or object in the Tinkercad Workplane, the Shape Properties panel will
                           automatically appear on the right side of the screen.

                 Step  2   In Shape properties panel, you can now customise the colour, radius, steps, length,
                           width, and height accordingly.
