Summary

Let’s look back at what was covered in this chapter to consider the strategies and techniques identified prior to moving on to the next part of this book.

Tinkercad offers a unique and intuitive approach to designing 3D models through the principles of constructive solid geometry. In CSG, you can make unique and complex shapes by grouping solid shapes and hole shapes together. There is never one approach to designing any model, but you may find that the order in which shapes are grouped can decrease the number of steps and shapes needed for the desired result.

We can also manipulate shapes to enhance our designs through unique shape parameters, which vary from shape to shape. As your designs become more complex and crowded, you can hide or lock shapes to make designing unique models more efficient.

Now that we’ve covered strategies for successful 3D modeling, we are ready to move on to using advanced tools and features to enhance our designs. We will...
