In this beginner-friendly Tinkercad QuickTip, I’ll show you everything you need to get started with 3D modelling on the iPad. We’ll look at how to add shapes, move around the 3D work plane, resize and rotate objects, and explore the core tools that make Tinkercad such a brilliant app for students and teachers.
Learn how to turn your drawings into 3D models using the Scribble tool in Tinkercad. In this QuickTip I show you how to sketch with your stylus, fill shapes, convert them into 3D forms and add them to your builds.
Tinkercad’s AR Viewer lets you bring your 3D designs into the real world. In this QuickTip, I show you how to place your model in a room, scale it, rotate it and even walk through large builds such as the Pantheon.
Grouping and duplicating objects in Tinkercad can save you a huge amount of time. In this video, I show how to build a detailed column, group it into a single object and then duplicate it efficiently to create larger, more complex designs.
In this Tinkercad QuickTip, learn how to turn any shape into a hole and use it like a cookie cutter to create cutouts, tunnels and custom edges. It's a simple way to build more complex models quickly.
