    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.

                                EXPLORING THE 3D WORKSPACE

                      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.

                      You can navigate in the 3D space using the following methods:
                         Right-click and hold, then move the mouse to rotate the view.

                         Use the ViewCube to adjust the perspective.

                         Click the Zoom In or Zoom Out button on the left side of the window.
                         Scroll the mouse wheel to zoom in or out.

                                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.
