Building Spatial Awareness: Intro
Goal: Build this rectangular prism in the app below.
Note the prism above has 8 vertices (corners). If we position one of its vertices at (0,0,0), enter 7 other ordered triples (x,y,z) that can serve as locations for its other vertices.
NEXT STEPS:
Note the prism above has six faces.
Lets construct other five faces of this prism that are not contained in the gridded plane above.
Once you're done plotting the 7 other vertices of your prism:
- Press the TOOLS icon (left side).
- Find and select the POLYGON
tool. - Use this tool to construct each face of the polygon. (When building a face, be sure you select vertices in a circular order and "close" the polygon with the first vertex you selected.)
- If you want to move your 3D construction around select the MOVE
tool to turn off the POLYGON tool so you can. - Tip: RIGHT CLICK on any point and select "FIX OBJECT" to prevent that point from moving.
