While it is really exciting to see your designs get printed out, the actual printing stage is really just the cherry on top of the whole process. Sketching, ideating, planning, problem solving and troubleshooting are foundational to 3D design. Learning 3D builds new knowledge about manipulating objects, turning and moving, angles\/lines\/measurements, and a lot of trial and error!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><strong>Start With the Basics<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Spatial visualization is an essential tool that helps us understand three-dimensional concepts. It\u2019s a great idea to start with the familiar media of pencil and paper. Here are some possible steps to explore for starting out.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sketching<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Invite students to choose an object. Have them sketch the object from the different views: front, back, left side, right side, and top. It can be helpful to use a piece of scrap paper with the views labeled. Sketching is imperfect, so encourage students to focus on the main shapes and lines of the objects instead of the details.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Orthographic Projection<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Students can learn how to create 2D representations of 3D objects by utilizing orthographic projection techniques. Using snap cubes, students create simple objects with a given amount of cubes (up to 8 or so). Then they draw the top, front, and right sides of the object as a flat images.<\/p>\n<p>Check out this video about orthographic drawing:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X5QNaxTVW74\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h3><strong>Isometric Drawing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Isometric drawing is done with triangle dot paper, or \u201cisometric paper.\u201d Characteristics of isometric drawing include: sides connect in a corner, corner angles are 120 degrees, and the sides (or \u201cfaces\u201d) have equal areas.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.sd41.bc.ca\/learningtech\/files\/2021\/05\/isonon.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-8126 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.sd41.bc.ca\/learningtech\/files\/2021\/05\/isonon.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"554\" height=\"238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sd41.bc.ca\/learningtech\/files\/2021\/05\/isonon.png 640w, https:\/\/blogs.sd41.bc.ca\/learningtech\/files\/2021\/05\/isonon-300x129.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/avtvyrm2vkA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.sd41.bc.ca\/learningtech\/files\/2021\/05\/snapcubes.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8128 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.sd41.bc.ca\/learningtech\/files\/2021\/05\/snapcubes.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"256\" height=\"291\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Using snap cubes is an effective way to visualize different sides of an object.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Snap_cube_puzzle_cube.jpg\"><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">Gregory Potter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">, <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0\">CC BY-SA 3.0<\/a>, via Wikimedia Commons\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>An overview from Chris Woods about where to start with isometric drawing:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uct0eiKNSd8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Computer-Aided Design (CAD)<\/h2>\n<p>Ready to move away from paper and pencil?
