                                Hi AIRO! How do engineers and
                                designers create designs and models?                                                                            In  daily  life,  you  must  have seen many two-dimensional  and three-dimensional  shapes.
                                                                                                                                                Understanding the basic difference between them is important, especially when you are going

                                                                     modelling software to create 3D models.

                                                                                                                                                Two-dimensional shapes have length and breadth, but no depth or height. They can be drawn on
                                                                                                                                                a flat surface and have an area and perimeter. These shapes are visible only on a screen or paper.
                                That sounds awesome! Can I try doing that too?
                                                                                                                                                Some examples of two-dimensional shapes are:

                                                               Absolutely! It’s a fun way to bring ideas to life.

                                What kind of models can I create?

                                                                  In this chapter, you’ll explore how to design                                 A three-dimensional shape has three dimensions: length, width and height. These shapes take up

                                                   simple shapes and models. Let’s dive in and get creative!                                    space and can be held in real life. These shapes can be viewed from different angles.
