Putting Details on Curved Objects in Tinkercad!

[@BrittCHelmsSr]

Here I am watching your TinkerCad tutorials some 6 years after you posted them, and they are still so informative. I have been having "ah-ha" moment after "ah-ha" moment watching these. More, Please!

[@sim-racing2277]

Nice yes I often use the donut shape set to a hole and place it around the object. Changing the wall thickness allows you to effectively crop the piece and trim off the excess.

[@sunpeter8260]

Thank you! Very nice ideas! I was able to do what I wanted to do following your steps carefully. The difficult part being to pay attention on "what you select to group" each time. We will benefit more out of these if these were more specific. Again! Thank you much!

[@margodarden2199]

I don't want to minimize what a lot of ppl are saying about this video, but you "must" do the entire playlist in order to be successful with doing the things he suggests in this video. It's the only way I learned to do this video with somewhat ease, but I want to master the things he does, but I know that will come with time. I hope no one is practicing what I call "drive-by learning " and replacing it with active participation then you will never learn the things he presented here.

[@user-os8gp7eh2v]

Thank you for the useful tip! I didn't think of using the group tool like that. For the imprinted detail, I find the rectangle step redundant. The imprint method works fine without the extra step.

[@gotbluemilk1]

thank you. exactly what i needed. i had to rewind a bunch of times because i wasn't sure what items you were grabbing at times though ;)

[@larfin5470]

I am literally two days into learning Tinkercad and was totally lost and couldn't get the R2D2 type positive embossing to work, but after several hours of trial and error and research I figured out what he did. The key point is that after he extended the cyclinder hole vertically and used the huge red block to cover the side items he did the following: 1. Made sure that the huge red block is solid and is selected (ie: clicked on it) 2. Then hold down the shift key and select the outer tall "hole" cylinder (so only 2 items selected ie: the huge solid red block and the tall "hole" cylinder). 3. Click on the "group" icon (causes the top of the "hole" cylinder to disappear). 4. Now select only the huge red block and turn it into a "hole" (a huge rectangular hole). 5. Now select everything (either drag the selector box over everything or do ctrl-A) 6. Now click the "group" icon (and now you should see your curved positive embossed artifacts). This technique will be very beneficial to me. Thanks!

PERFECT. Thank you for this.

Could you elaborate more on the insetting shapes process? I am trying to inset some shapes into an oval flattish dome and can't figure out how to do it. I don't quite understand how you are doing it.

[@barbaydian261]

Do you have a tinkercad tutorial on how to make supports?

[@firepower03]

WOW I didn't even know ungrouping was a THING!!! Thanks for this video!

[@Walt1119]

great video and explanations! Thanks for sharing with us!!!!

[@gc5643]

Too good, you make it look so easy, thank you.

[@exports6979]

It is unclear what your are clicking on, particularly at the end. I suggest that if you want to teach something slow it down make it crystal clear what you are clicking on and then what you're doing with the clicked items. I watched a couple of times and have no clue how to repeat what you did. Early in the video you said you'd forgot to do something and then made a correction that is entirely a mystery.

[@waynestarick5282]

I would have to agree. I have just found this tutorial but get lost towards the end for the reasons spelled out above. Would you be able to redo this with very clear explanations? Your knowledge is too valuable to lose!

[@marka7958]

@@waynestarick5282 agreed, got lost right at the end with the missed step as it wasn't explained what it was that was missed.

What sourcery is this!?! I had to watch a few times to understand! Brilliant!

[@stephenmarshall5302]

I'm really grateful for this video and with enough persistence I'm sure I will get it but I'm still struggling to understand. I think its because I use the mouse only to subtract and add material so I'm not fully understanding what your doing. I'm not good with computers at the best of times but thanks , as u said I'm sure ill work it out

[@ChickensAndGardening]

Neat technique. I wonder if you can do a spline (S-curve) tutorial sometime -- if such is even possible!

[@Kalberti1]

i would like to hear and see how you are capturing the objects. you are going so fast on your movements that it is hard to tell what you are clicking on. Thank you.

I am literally trying to put detail on an R2D2 model I'm creating. Clearly this video was made for me :)

Hey. I've been trying to copy a bushy, clumpy anime hair style from a reference image in tinkercad for a while, but I can't get it right. Got any tips for hair?

[@altf4thc]

Great tutorial. Subbed

[@Emtbtoday]

Good video, the same would be able to be applied to a rectangular box old image then? I'm just learning 360 but this is just so much easier I'm trying to design boxes for a model that are like the wedge shape but with a flat top, these side details is exactly what I'm needed for the boxes hopefully works the same way! I've subscribed for more keep them coming!

[@thehorseman1806]

So I'm trying to curve snowflake in a round cylinder. Exactly what u r doing in this video but with a snowflake. I must be missing something because ur method here isn't working for me, clearly a mistake on My end. Could you guide me through it? I'm making stuff for Christmas

[@carolpauley7746]

you also have to rotate text? I tried the gears, when I dragged on spline across and tried to duplicate both and rotate they wouldn't wish you could explain that better, thanks...

Can you possibly do a video on how to make hinges and screws for Tinkercad?

[@chrisashdown8814]

I am looking to make a cylinder with a animal shape in STL aligned around the cylinder as a negative i.e. the shape is engraved into the cylinder The design would go all around the cylinder so it can be rolled onto say paper and leave a positive impresion of the animal with negative suround Can you advise how i could go about it in tinkercad

For the future, could you show us how do we make a notched circle. Like for sprocket hole for a notched stepper shaft in tinker CAD. Thanks !

[@aibu3654]

At what stage should you group the cylinder and shapes? TY x

[@craigdwillia]

I'm a newbie and I can't seem to get past placing one object onto another. For instance: I'm trying to make a simple cartoonish cat. It has a spherical body with beady little eyes and nose, some triangular ears sticking out, etc. I drag out a sphere for the body - fine. Now to make a small, round eye, I've tried dragging out a half sphere onto the body, and I've tried with a whole sphere. When I drag this round eye onto the big sphere (body) it never seems to attach to the front. It goes behind, or it looks like it is attached to the front, but when I look from another angle, it's floating out in space far from the big body sphere, or it's touching but hanging out an angle. In every tutorial I watch, people just drag an object on top of another object, and it's attached. what am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help. I'm sure I'm overlooking something painfully obvious.

[@kuntibolox]

An old post I know but for anyone finding the same, use a vertical plane to create the eyes from a sphere and group them to the head.

[@arnelarcedo132]

hi great work btw. i just have a question, whenever i cut and goup and the i opened the model again the shape i used to cut returns again, what to do? pls help

[@jebronekitty]

I know this is old, but I wanted to know how to curve the item before cutting it out. Doing it this way doesn't give a uniform cut, the sides of the object will be slanted. Imagine a bigger box almost the width of the cylinder, if it was an add on the slope of the sides would be wide, if you cut into it the sides would be sharp.

[@javilarg]

Amazing!

[@cryptoparadigm8652]

Great video way over my head but now I know it can be done... I like to learn how to engrave a words in an object, I guess similar to your video... Cheers

[@ayourk1]

I wish you were covering this in relation to shape generators. I really would like to create a Knurl shape generator. I know something like this is possible with all of the object arrays I see in the Shape Generator library.

I honestly don’t understand what everyone is complaining about? It is’t difficult to follow along at all. This isn’t a video describing the basis commands, which I believe is what most of the people complaining would need. This i clearly a video aimed at people who know their way around Tinkercad, but could use some helpful tips on how to work with curved objects. Nice work and good instructions!

Not sure why but when you said you missed a step then everything went wrong for me. I need more clear instructions. I tried doing the exact steps but did not get the same results.

[@raymondmadigan]

I have watched the how to create object indents in a cylinder countless number of times and when you say, "We subtract it and then group something, it isn't clear what is selected. It would be nice to say select this and select that and group them. Otherwise, I can't make sense of it. Pretty much the same as peters comment.

How do u carve it I don't get it!!!!???

He said to group a hole inside a hole. What do you get, just a hole the same size as the larger hole, no 2mm gap.

[@konosuba-fan]

[@maiapalmer261]

You're definitely skipping a few steps in your verbal commands. This is what I was able to understand, but following these steps does NOT end up as it does in your video. What is missing? Create your shape. Make the text. Flip it 90degrees. Put in front of shape, extend so that it projects to front and back of object. Duplicate main shape, scale it up by 1mm on each sides (however much you want it to hang over) Make outside copy a hole Make cube to cover everything (material to cut out of) Select inside hole copy, select cube, group them Select box, make hole Select text and box, group them.

[@Federation42movies]

LOL, this is totally impossible to follow. Spent too much time explaining how to add all the intricate surface details .... then totally lost me with the part where holes were created ... and a step was missed ... then ... boom.... my whole model is pretty much gone. Knowing how to do something is one thing, but imparting the knowledge on to others is something else. Clearly you know what you're doing, and I appreciate your taking the time to make these videos. This one was just too much for me.

[@tangerinetech5300]

that means you grouped everything together at once when you were actually supposed to group just the hole and the outer box together. the step he says he misses was grouping the shapes and the cylinder into one object but to be honest its not super important if you dont move the cylinder or objects, more a convenience thing. after grouping just the larger cylinder hole and outer box you turn the box into a hole and then you group that with the actual cylinder with the objects in it.

[@marka7958]

it seems the latest version of tinkercad just cuts everything inside the box

[@NarcosisJunky2]

I agree with Exports. If you are going to teach, don't teach like you have been teaching to the same students for 4 years, people who google on KZbin to learn how to do things do it because they are new at this and have no clue how to do it, don't know the language and don't know how to maneuver around on the screen. You do it like you have been doing it for 10 years. That's great if you are teaching people who have also been doing this for 10 years. And yes, you made a mistake and corrected it and we have no idea what you did , what you corrected or how you corrected. you are going so fast that I moved on to another tutorial. It's to bad, you have a good knowledge base, but your teaching skills need a lot of work. Yes it may be boring for you, but is it about how fast you can spit out videos on KZbin or is it about the quality of the video and the number of followers you will eventually get?

In Tinker cad

[@BmP9999]

Trying to follow my friend (move by move in your vid and me on TinkerCad) , but just not working. There is magic hidden in what you are doing that is just not apparent. Falls apart at the "oh I forgot" moment. Perhaps selecting the correct objects and grouping them. We could certainly learn more clearly by a refined step by step pls & Thx.

[@BmP9999]

More trying this AM... got it - Thanks! Now to figure out how to put long text around an object... seems to work well for short text.

[@BmP9999]

And the MISSING MAGIC is "do not select the big box with the hole", just select the inner parts (or everything disappears when you remove the outer box). I was able to do long text one letter at a time. Tedious, first letter text, duplicate, modify letter, rotate nn deg, move to keep consistent spacing, etc.

[@chrispeake9447]

You are moving to fast and jumping over some commands. I suggest that you pretend you are demonstrating to 9th grade students who have no experience with Tinkercad.
