Workplane: The Workplane is a blue surface on which you can place your objects in Tinkercad.
                      It has blue grid lines.

                      Snap Grid: In the lower-right corner, the Snap Grid button allows you to change the movement
                      intervals of objects on the Workplane. When enabled, the selected object will move in the
                      interval selected on the Snap Grid. The available options include 0.1 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.5 mm,
                      1 mm, 2 mm, 5 mm, and Brick. Tinkercad also allows you to turn off the Snap Grid.

                      Settings button: In lower right corner, the Settings button, The Workspace settings dialog
                      box appears, it allows you to change Background colour of the project, Show shadows, Show
                      grid,  Cruise  when adding  new shapes,  Zoom  speed,  Units  of measurement.  The default
                      measurement unit in Tinkercad is millimetres (mm).

                      Tinkercad allows measurements in millimetres, inches, and bricks which can changed using
                      Settings button.

                      Shapes Panel: Shapes panel contains basic shapes, and various other categories of shapes
                      which can be added to the project and various other categories of shapes which can be
                      added to the Workplane.



                            PERSPECTIVE AND ORTHOGRAPHIC VIEWS


                  Perspective view (3D) view gives a three-dimensional (3D) appearance, where objects appear
                  to get smaller as they move farther away from the viewer, mimicking how we perceive depth in
                  the real world. Perspective view allows you to see your model with depth and distance, making it
                  more realistic and suitable for 3D modelling.

                  Orthographic view (2D) view is two-dimensional (2D) because it removes the depth perception
                  and shows objects without any perspective distortion. It’s useful for precise work, giving you
                  a clear, scaled representation of the object from specific angles (like top, front, or side views).
                  This view is often referred to as flat view because it presents the object as though it is flat,
                  without depth.

                  The Perspective view is the default view in Tinkercad. The        button in Tinkercad allows you to
                  switch between different view modes and adjust the display settings of the Workplane.




                            ESSENTIAL 3D SHAPES

                  In Tinkercad, working with various 3D shapes is essential for building complex models. The software
                  provides a variety of basic shapes like cubes, spheres, cylinders, cones, tubes, toruses, and more,

                  which can be combined, resized, and modified to create detailed structures. These shapes form
                  the foundation for designing intricate models, offering customisation options for properties such
                  as dimensions, orientation, and colour.
