Can I use a CAD program?
Success Criteria
Using Tinkercad, you will be designing with 3D shapes to create models.
We hope to 3D print your best attempt so you can take a physical model home.
Part 3 - making models of landmarks around the world.
Think carefully about your chosen landmark. Using the skills you have learnt how can you make a 3D model of it.
Research - Basic Measurements for different monuments.
| Landmark | Width (X) | Height (Y) | Length (z) | Challenge | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pyramids | 230m | 148m | 230m | D | Britanica |

Applying our learning. When we draw buildings we often use shapes and silhouettes. You can apply this idea to 3D shapes as well.
