STEP - 3 Select your desired colour from the palette.

The shape’s colour will change to the new colour you selected.

Tinkercad’s simple shapes like spheres and cylinders can
SMART represent key robot parts, like joints and wheels, that are
SPARK
essential for movement.

Grouping Shapes

Grouping objects allows you to combine multiple shapes into a single object, making it easier to
move, rotate and scale them together. It simplifies the design process, helps maintain alignment
and ensures that modifications are applied to the entire group at once.

There are two types of grouping in Tinkercad:
Union group: It merges multiple objects into a single new shape or subtracts hole shapes from

solid shapes to create cuts or holes.
Bundle group: It selects multiple shapes and groups them together without altering their
individual geometry or colours. This is useful for organising and moving a collection of separate

objects as a single unit, such as furniture in a room.
To group shapes, follow the given steps:

STEP - 1 Drag and drop the first shape from the Shapes panel onto the Workplane.
STEP - 2 Drag and drop another shape from the Shapes panel onto the first shape.

STEP - 3 Click on the first shape to select it.

STEP - 4 Hold Shift on the keyboard and select the second shape. The shapes you have
selected will be outlined in blue.
