We are going to practise
using different views. First, choose file, new drawing, three
dimensional, and construction box.
An empty grid (4 by 4) will appear as well as a control screen.
This screen indicates how many blocks have been piled on the grid.
Clicking a square in the control screen will add a block to the grid.
Use your right mouse button to remove a block. This program helps you
build block-models and its main aim is to help you draw a variety of
views.
(This demo only allows
you to build small towers of up to two blocks high. The licensed
version also allows you to work in realistic perspective and with
random heights.)
Click on [control line of view].
Place the mouse over the
drawing and drag it while holding the left mouse button. The viewpoint
of the drawing changes and now you can see what the front, side and
top view look like.
After you have drawn
these views, you can look up the answer and see whether your
answer was correct. This view screen allows you to temporarily
render certain views invisible so that you can check one view
without already seeing the others.
There is also the
option of including measure tools used for measuring lengths,
angles and surfaces but we will discuss that later.
