UNDERSTANDING THE AXES
In Tinkercad, the X, Y, and Z axes
define the 3D coordinate system used
to position and manipulate objects
in the workspace. The X-axis runs
horizontally in the Workplane. The
Y-axis runs vertically in the Workplane.
The Z-axis represents height in the 3D
space. Increasing values move the
object upward, and decreasing values
move it downward.
TRANSFORMING OBJECTS
Transforming Objects in Tinkercad refers to the ability to move, rotate, and scale objects within
the 3D workspace to design and modify shapes as needed.
MOVE AN OBJECT IN TINKERCAD
Moving an object allows you to reposition it along the X or Y axes within the Workplane.
To move an object, follow these steps:
Step 1 Click the object to select it.
Step 2 Drag and move it to reposition it along
the X or Y axes.
OR
Drag and move the object, enter the new position
in the text box that appears on the opposite side
of the object movement to specify the exact
placement measurement.
ROTATE AN OBJECT IN TINKERCAD
In Tinkercad, when you select any shape, rotate handles appear that can be used to orient the
shape or object along the X, Y, or Z axis.
