Lesson 3: Make your own name badge Year 6 – Creating media – 3D modelling
To recognise that objects can be combined in a 3D model I can rotate objects in three dimensions I can duplicate 3D objects I can group 3D objects Lesson 3 : Make your own name badge ‹#› Objectives
Let’s get creative! ‹#› Introduction You can add text and shapes from the side panel or you can draw objects by hand. Which of these is drawn by hand?
The three curved double-headed arrows enable you to rotate shapes in three dimensions. Rotating shapes ‹#› Activity 1
Add some text, and rotate it using the three handles. Challenge ‹#› Activity 1
When you rotate an object vertically, some of it may end up under the workplane. You can lift it back on top of the workplane. Crossing the workplane ‹#› Activity 1 Hint: When lifting objects, the distance between the object and the workplane is shown.
If you want to use an object more than once, you can duplicate it. Once you have duplicated an object, you can still modify it. Duplicating objects ‹#› Activity 2
Challenge: Pick an object, duplicate it, and edit in different ways. For example, y ou could: Resize Lift/lower Rotate Change colour Duplicate and edit ‹#› Activity 2
Make your own name badge ‹#› As you create your name badge, tick off the techniques you have used on your activity sheet. Activity 3
Grouping is useful when you want to move or resize all of your objects as one. ‹#› Activity 3
Grouping ‹#› Activity 3 1. Select the items you want to group by clicking and dragging a box around them 2. Click on the ‘group’ button 3. Once you have grouped your objects, try moving them
For an object to be successfully printed, each layer needs to print on top of the previous layer. Would my model print? What about your model? Could it be printed? ‹#› Plenary
Making it printable ‹#› Sometimes rotating your model will make it printable. Plenary
I can rotate objects in three dimensions I can duplicate 3D objects I can group 3D objects How confident are you? (1–3) ‹#› Assessment 3 – Very confident 1 – Not confident 2 – Unsure
In this lesson, you… Rotated, duplicated, and grouped objects, combing these skills to make a 3D model of a name badge Next lesson ‹#› Next lesson, you will… Accurately size objects, use placeholders to make holes in objects, and combine objects to make a 3D model Summary
