    ViewCube: It helps you change the view angle of your design by clicking different faces of the
                        cube to switch between TOP, FRONT, LEFT, RIGHT, BACK and BOTTOM views.

                         Workplane: The flat surface where you place and manipulate 3D objects for your designs.
                         Navigation Buttons: These tools allow you to reset the view, fit objects on the screen, zoom in/
                        out and switch between flat and perspective views for easy navigation.

                         Snap Grid: It allows you to adjust the movement intervals of objects on the Workplane. You
                        can also turn off the Snap Grid for free movement.

                         Shapes Panel: It displays basic 3D shapes and objects that you can drag and drop onto the
                        workplane to build your design.
                         Workplane Tool: It allows you to create and move the workplane, which is the surface where
                        you place objects in 3D space.

                         Ruler Tool: It allows you to measure distances and align objects accurately in your design.

                         Notes Tool: It enables you to add notes or labels.

                            WORKING WITH SHAPES

                     Shapes are the building blocks of designs. You can choose from basic 3D shapes like cubes, spheres
                     and cylinders, then manipulate them on the workplane to create complex models.

                     ADDING SHAPES

                     You can add any shape from the Shapes panel and customise it to fit your project needs.

                                                                                         The default size of the Tinkercad
                                                                                         Workplane is 200 x 200 x 200
                                                                                         millimetres.

                                                                            Drag-and-drop the shape
                                                                            from the  Shapes  panel
                                                                            onto the Workplane.

                     Once you release the shape on the Workplane, it will appear in your design.

                     NAVIGATING WORKSPACE
                     Tinkercad’s Viewport is crucial for smooth design and accurate modelling. Tinkercad offers four
                     primary navigation techniques:

                         Orbit: Rotate around objects to view them from different angles.
