00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,960
In today's video tutorial we're going to be introducing Tinkercad which is an

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,919
online platform that you can use to create 3D designs. As you can see I'm

3
00:00:09,919 --> 00:00:16,440
signed in and I'm at my recent designs page. From here I'm going to go to click

4
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:23,079
or create a new design and you'll see here in a moment that a grid will appear.

5
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:31,420
So this is my new project. To view the the grid I can zoom in or out with my

6
00:00:31,420 --> 00:00:40,119
mouse. There's also zooming out and in options over here. I'm going to rename

7
00:00:40,119 --> 00:00:45,939
this by clicking on the upper left hand corner this name will just say tutorial

8
00:00:45,939 --> 00:00:53,259
box. Next what I'm going to do is I'm going to introduce the panels

9
00:00:53,259 --> 00:00:57,659
that we'll be working with primarily. So those can be found on the right-hand side.

10
00:00:58,539 --> 00:01:04,859
When I click down on this arrow icon, you can see that we have text and numbers, characters,

11
00:01:06,140 --> 00:01:11,420
a bunch of different stuff. But for today, we're just going to do a really basic introduction.

12
00:01:11,420 --> 00:01:17,980
We're going to cover the interface, selecting an object, viewing an object, how to save a project,

13
00:01:17,980 --> 00:01:23,659
and then how to navigate to the dashboard and delete a project so for today I'm going to

14
00:01:23,659 --> 00:01:28,379
navigate to basic shapes and I'm just going to select this red box and drag it right over

15
00:01:29,739 --> 00:01:36,299
once the box is on my grid this panel will open up that includes information about the size the color

16
00:01:37,180 --> 00:01:43,739
and change the color if you like if you want to change the width the height the length all you

17
00:01:43,739 --> 00:01:48,719
you need to do is select this and drag it to the dimensions that you want you

18
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:53,159
can also click into this box and just add the number that you want if you know

19
00:01:53,159 --> 00:02:04,900
it change the width as well okay I'm gonna make it more of a rectangle okay

20
00:02:04,900 --> 00:02:10,680
perfect now what we need to do is view the object so you have this cube in the

21
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,840
upper left hand corner you can go ahead and click on the different views that we

22
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:26,400
have front, you were just on top, you can do left, you can do right. The last thing that I'm going to

23
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:32,580
show you or second to last thing is how to save this project. You're going to navigate to this

24
00:02:32,580 --> 00:02:38,479
little icon right here, recent designs, and you're going to click on it. From here, you're going to

25
00:02:38,479 --> 00:02:42,819
see the name that was originally in there. That's not the name that I gave it. It should be called

26
00:02:42,819 --> 00:02:50,340
tutorial box. So I'm going to click on the settings icon and I'm going to change it to tutorial box

27
00:02:50,340 --> 00:02:58,719
for a second time. From here you have the option to save it as private or public. I recommend keeping

28
00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:03,699
it private until you're ready to share it but once you have your project ready to share you can go

29
00:03:03,699 --> 00:03:09,639
ahead and select public and then do the attribution share alike so that other people can build on your

30
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:16,060
material and we're going to select save changes and now you can see that it says

31
00:03:16,060 --> 00:03:26,449
tutorial box now I'm going to click on more designs in your gallery give this a

32
00:03:26,449 --> 00:03:32,449
moment to open up and now you can see that the project is here say if you want

33
00:03:32,449 --> 00:03:36,250
to delete this project like I'm going to do all you have to do is select this

34
00:03:36,250 --> 00:03:43,770
delete and that concludes our video tutorial for today
