Learning Objective: YWBAT join objects in solid modeling software.
Essential Question: What techniques allow us to create complex shapes from simple ones?
Unit 3: Solid Modeling
Do Now: 3 minutes
At left are the primitives in Tinkercad. At right is different views of Bob. List all the primitives that you think we used to create Bob, indicating where on the model those primitives are.
Do Now: What is the difference between the graph on the left and the one on the right?
What is the location of the point on Graph A? Can you be sure it is where you think it is? Why or why not?
What is the location of the point on Graph B? Can you be sure of where you think it is? Why or why not?
Align & the Workplane Tool
Due end of period
- Project Ignite Lesson 5: Using the Align Tool and the Workplane helper
To complete:
1. Open you Google Drive
2. Go to your Tech & Design Folder
3. Find and open "03.05_Align & Workplane"
4. Follow all instructions and answer all questions within.
Think about the tools you've learned in Tinkercad. Which one or ones should we use to put the roof on the house?
Basic Laptop Rules:
1. No headphones - except when watching assigned videos.
2. Only use the laptop assigned to you.
3. Carry the laptop by the base (not the screen).
4. On task - doing so is worth 10% of your overall grade on the assignment.
Is the point where you thought it was?
What changed from the last picture to this one?
The Workplane and Align Tools
Do Now:
Look closely and discuss with your group. Can you be sure that the letters were placed correctly on this name tag? Why or why not?

What tools/techniques can we use to be sure that objects are placed where we really want them to be?
