    CUSTOMISING SHAPES

                     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.

                     To customise shape dimensions and properties, follow these steps:
                     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.

                     You can also customise the dimensions of the selected shape by using the handles or control
                     handles present on the selected shape, dragging them outward or inward to increase or decrease
                     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.

                                                                                             Tinkercad – An Introduction  151
