These allow users to delete selected objects and undo or redo actions, respectively, with total ease. Other great things on the page before we get started: Under the file name on the top left of the screen users will find 2 buttons we are a big fan of- A trashcan and 2 arrows. Click that button to take you back to a very simple, front facing view of the workplane.

Now, if users are sufficiently lost or can’t even find the workplane (it's common at first, no sweat), TinkerCAD has a lovely “Home” button shaped like a house in the left hand of the screen.Go slowly at first, it’s not difficult to scroll so far in or out of the plane you can’t see what you’re doing anymore.

Users can zoom in and out of the workplane by scrolling forward and backward on a mouse or trackpad.

Once the 2 buttons are released, the Workplane stops moving.

Users can also tilt and spin the Workplane by holding down both the left and right cursors of the mouse (or pressing 2 fingers on a laptop trackpad) and then moving the mouse.

By clicking the sides labeled “Top”, “Front”, etc, it’s really easy to reorient the workplane. This cube is really helpful when you get lost navigating the workplane and don’t know how to get back to a more general, less confusing view of the model.

When the cube in the top left corner is clicked, users can shift and tilt the cube to alter the perspective of the workplane.

In order to design in three dimensions, designers need to see all sides.

You should become familiar with navigating the workplane first.
