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.
