I am new to this and going through the die lesson. Somehow I have the 1 above the top surface instead of on it.
The "1" is the flat object floating above the top. How do I move that down to the surface? It seems that I can only move around the most recently dropped object. That doesn't work for somebody who makes as many mistakes as I do!
Thanks, Bob
Hi Bob,
An easy way would be to put a workplane on the surface where the 1 has to go, the select the 1, and press D. The 1 will drop (hence the D) onto the workplane. You can then use Align (selecting Dice and 1) to make sure it's centered.
Let me know if it makes sense. I can do a quick video if you have doubts.
Wow Guillermo ... Thanks so much for such a rapid and helpful answer. Is it correct to say that D moves an object perpendicular to the workplane? Where do you learn this? I've been looking for some written documentation but have no luck so far.
Thanks very much, Bob
You can find all shorcut keys under Learn. Drop is one of them.
There are also several videos called TinkerTips on the Tinkercad Blog. There's a video about this.
Thanks again!
Bob
How the devil do I move around objects? It is NOT intuitive. As soon as I do something with an object, it seems all operations are modifying it instead of moving it. Why cant I just select an object and then move it, the most elementary thing that you want to do? Frustrating...
i agree, i came here trying to find out same thing. moving something shouldnt be so complicated. at this rate im never going to learn how to create my own 3D models. i have all kinds of ideas
but cant figure out how to get them into a model, very frustrating
hey i wonder if i use the arrow buttons if it might move my object? if it works and i can find my way back here, ill let you know cleared.
