       Shapes Panel: It displays basic 3D shapes and objects that you can drag and drop onto the
     workplane to build your design.    Pan: Move the view horizontally or vertically without rotating. Use the Middle mouse button

       Workplane Tool: It allows you to create and move the workplane, which is the surface where
     you place objects in 3D space.    Zoom: Adjust the view to focus on specific details or the entire design. You can use +, - or scroll
                        using the mouse wheel.
       Ruler Tool: It allows you to measure distances and align objects accurately in your design.

     ADDING SHAPES

     You can add any shape from the Shapes panel and customise it to fit your project needs.  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 length, width, height, steps and more.
     The default size of the Tinkercad
     Workplane is 200 x 200 x 200
     millimetres.    Similarly, you can resize and rotate using the following:

     NAVIGATING WORKSPACE
