1 00:00:01,970 --> 00:00:07,570 All right guys, so today we're talking about the Workplane feature on Tinkercad. 2 00:00:08,570 --> 00:00:14,050 So with this feature, we're able to create separate levels for our 3D figures to be built upon. 3 00:00:14,849 --> 00:00:17,370 So you see right here, we have our original Workplane. 4 00:00:18,589 --> 00:00:23,010 My Tinkercad is in English because I have an English computer. 5 00:00:23,929 --> 00:00:26,969 But on yours, it's called Plano de Trabajo. 6 00:00:27,609 --> 00:00:29,609 Excuse my pronunciation. 7 00:00:29,609 --> 00:00:36,810 Um, so for this feature we're able to create separate levels for our shapes by creating 8 00:00:36,810 --> 00:00:40,130 a separate work plane, right? 9 00:00:40,130 --> 00:00:48,689 So when I put my box on this first work plane, it goes immediately on this blue level, right? 10 00:00:48,689 --> 00:00:52,869 But say I wanted to put this box on top of the other box. 11 00:00:52,869 --> 00:00:57,329 You see right now it's next to it, but it won't let me put it on top of it, right? 12 00:00:57,329 --> 00:01:04,109 just goes through it and combines them. So how do I combine the two and put one 13 00:01:04,109 --> 00:01:10,650 on top of the other? Well we do that by using the work plane feature. So the 14 00:01:10,650 --> 00:01:15,450 work plane is more than just this bottom area for us to use. We can also use this 15 00:01:15,450 --> 00:01:21,150 work plane button up in the corner to create separate levels. So for example 16 00:01:21,150 --> 00:01:27,670 For example, when I click this, now you see that my mouse has a square that is showing 17 00:01:27,670 --> 00:01:33,209 up on the work plane of this 3D design. 18 00:01:33,209 --> 00:01:38,390 It's on the base one because this is a regular work plane that you start with, but we can 19 00:01:38,390 --> 00:01:44,370 put it on our shapes to create new work planes for us to work with and have different angles 20 00:01:44,370 --> 00:01:45,829 and levels, right? 21 00:01:45,829 --> 00:01:51,290 So I could put one on the sides, but for this example I'm going to put it on the top. 22 00:01:51,290 --> 00:01:57,909 So now you see we have a separate orange workplane that is above our original blue workplane. 23 00:01:57,909 --> 00:02:06,489 So now when I place shapes out onto the workplane, it is on a separate level completely. 24 00:02:06,489 --> 00:02:14,110 So now this box is on top of the other box, and these boxes are on separate workplanes 25 00:02:14,110 --> 00:02:16,050 so therefore they're on separate levels. 26 00:02:16,050 --> 00:02:23,270 We can move the box around and do everything we would do with the box on the original workplane, 27 00:02:23,270 --> 00:02:26,469 but now it's just above it. 28 00:02:26,469 --> 00:02:30,729 So we can go back to the original workplane by pressing the button again and selecting 29 00:02:30,729 --> 00:02:33,050 the blue one. 30 00:02:33,050 --> 00:02:39,909 We can combine these two boxes to make them aligned by using the shift button and the 31 00:02:39,909 --> 00:02:40,909 left key button. 32 00:02:40,909 --> 00:02:48,129 I'm on a laptop, so I'm not sure exactly how well this will work, but when we're in the 33 00:02:48,129 --> 00:02:54,409 lab on the computers, it'll be much easier with the mice. 34 00:02:54,409 --> 00:02:55,990 But I think I just got it, yeah. 35 00:02:55,990 --> 00:02:58,349 So I think they're connected. 36 00:02:58,349 --> 00:03:03,770 So yeah, they're connected now, and we can make them perfectly aligned. 37 00:03:03,770 --> 00:03:07,530 And they're connected, right? 38 00:03:07,530 --> 00:03:12,969 So that's how we can make blocks that have multiple levels, this can be used in many 39 00:03:12,969 --> 00:03:18,949 different ways obviously, but for example we don't have to use just boxes. 40 00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:22,469 We can use this with any of our different shapes. 41 00:03:22,469 --> 00:03:26,229 The one that is the most interesting is our sphere. 42 00:03:26,229 --> 00:03:32,750 So this obviously doesn't have one flat top or flat sides like our square does, but that 43 00:03:32,750 --> 00:03:41,710 That gives us more opportunity to create angles that are more complex and more detailed. 44 00:03:41,710 --> 00:03:49,650 You see as I select the work plane button and I move my mouse around the sphere, I can 45 00:03:49,650 --> 00:03:54,990 create a work plane at any different point on the sphere. 46 00:03:54,990 --> 00:04:01,930 So this really gives us a lot of options as to how we want to create different objects 47 00:04:01,930 --> 00:04:05,289 and how they're stacked next to each other. 48 00:04:05,289 --> 00:04:08,770 So I can put it right here. 49 00:04:08,770 --> 00:04:14,169 And then you see, compared to the original work plane, that this is sideways. 50 00:04:14,169 --> 00:04:21,730 And so when I put my box on there, it's going to go flat onto the work plane that I created. 51 00:04:21,730 --> 00:04:27,930 So this puts that box directly at that angle that I made the work plane at. 52 00:04:27,930 --> 00:04:32,750 So this is really helpful for putting things directly at an angle, creating very complex 53 00:04:32,750 --> 00:04:37,170 shapes, and creating different levels with our shapes. 54 00:04:37,170 --> 00:04:43,689 So this is a very useful tool that we'll be using other times in our 3D design. 55 00:04:43,689 --> 00:04:45,529 Okay, see you later guys!
