Working with Shape Generators
As initially introduced in Chapter 5, Shape Generators in Tinkercad is a collection of customizable shapes that can be found in the Shapes Library, as shown in Figure 9.15:
Figure 9.15: Selecting the Shape Generators in the Shapes panel
The shapes in the Shape Generators section are unique from the other shapes you can find in Tinkercad for a few different reasons. First, you will notice that each shape generator has vastly different parameters to adjust the shape from one to the next. This allows for a high level of customization as you strive to make unique projects.
You will also note that the shapes have authors, as at one point Tinkercad community members were able to design and contribute shapes through Shape Generators. While this is no longer an option, you can use Codeblocks to design custom shapes using programming techniques, as mentioned in Chapter 1.
