Year 6

3D Modelling

In this lesson, we will examine 3D objects from a variety of views within a 3D space. We will also explore the functionality of the buttons available within the software in order to create a 3D maze.

What is 3D modelling?

In this lesson, we will alter the dimensions of 3D objects and recognise how to lift these objects to create 3D models. We will then enhance our 3D models by changing the colour of our 3D objects.

Making changes

In this lesson, we will produce a 3D model of a physical object, which will contain a number of different 3D objects. We will rotate and place these 3D objects into position in relation to other 3D objects, and we will use the copy tool to improve our modelling efficiency.

Rotation and position

In this lesson, we will produce a 3D model of a pencil holder. To do this, we will look at resizing objects to specific dimensions and we will use the group tool to create holes in 3D objects.

Making holes

In this lesson, we will experiment with grouping 3D objects and demonstrate our ability to use our past learning to manipulate 3D objects in Tinkercad. We will then plan our own 3D models of a photo frame which we will develop in the next lesson.

Planning my own 3D model

In this lesson, we will produce our own 3D model based on our plan from the previous lesson. We will evaluate our models and decide whether we have met the criteria provided. We will then have the opportunity to add improvements.
