TinkerCad Tip - Using the Ruler the Easy Way!

thanks, i tried using other ways of aligning things and well it didn't turn out so great, now I can save time and hair with this :)

How to put ruler to the center of random cylinder? Is it possible on tinkercad?

I’ve pulled an stl file ore made into Tinkercad. I wanna measure the slots that are made already.

I'm going to use the ruler today on a object I'm working on.

Great ! I wonder why Tinkercad doesnt explain these tools thoroughly.I didnt know I could write exactly the measure I need,neither to use the measurements from the centers,thanks

Thanks, I was wondering how to place accurate holes.

THANK YOU i needed to add a cone-shaped hole for a screw countersink but i didnt want to use the align tool because i needed it at a specific location

Thanks for posting 👍👍

WOW!!! Too bad I didnt find this sooner, I might not be bald from pulling my hair out. THANK YOU!!!

THANK YOU. I was trying to make a 3d printed prototype of something before having it laser cut, and had no idea how to get things to line up. Very Helpful...especially since it was a short video, I didn't have to wade through a bunch of other stuff to find the info I wanted!

I've been pulling my hair for the last 3 hours trying to do measuring between holes for a project, I think using this method it might work. I may just increase the size of the holes to make things easier vs. 6.7 mm wide holes.

Great video on how to use the ruler!!! Helps a lot, thank you!

Is it possible I can print a chair people can sit on?

Thanks yes I was frustrated before discovering that adjustment for the ruler reference. Now for the align tool :)

Thx for for this it helped me a lot Peter Griffin.

Great job explaining this important tool in Tinkercad!

To all the ppl that dislike, u should be here...

How can I move the ruler by typing numbers and NOT the shape? I want to 0 the ruler on a shape and I cant afford to move the shape because other parts are attached to it.

Do you know how to measure from two inside walls without having to use the midpoint? Having huge issues with spacing on three walls on a 4.8" block.

Thanks, would have never figured out how to switch to midpoint!

I'm trying to measure the distance between 2 same radius cylinders (either center to center or edge to edge) above the workplane. How do I do that?

If you have multiple objects with multiple planes... how can you snap a ruler to the corner of an existing object? If you do that your trying to do it by eye and it always seems to come out wrong and then as you continue designing off existing pieces that error is magnified and added to with later rulers that are also off by a hair.

took me a couple of shots to get me head around it but it really is easy to use this way, i am always setting up squares of holes for 2020 2040 and so on and this is by far the easiest method to do a set of holes for a predetermined object like extrusion etc. thanks for showing me the way.

good work stay safe
looking forward to watching more videos
im also sharing, create , and doing alot of tinkercad video

Thank you very much! I can now move objects easily with an accuracy of 0.01mm!

Thanks for this explanation. Tried using it before and it didn't make sense.

Thanks for the tip. Can the ruler be used off the work plane to measure hole locations on a cylindrical item? Array?

Very helpful.

Thx!

Perhaps that was useful to someone who knows what they are doing but it was clear as mud to a beginner like myself.

TINKERCARD THE WORST 3D PROGRAM !!!!!!!! DONT USE IT!!!! FULLL OF ERRORS..SESION EXPIRES BY ITSELF... 3 DAYS OF HARD WORK 8H A DAY.. LOST 300$ !!! DONT USE TINKERCARD!!! WHO GONNA PAY ME NOW 300$? TINKERCARD?..WORST PROGRAM!!

Thanks a ton!

well, that certainly makes more sense than how I'VE been trying to use the ruler. I've been pulling it down AFTER I get started & then trying to figure out how to line things up with it. Thanks for a really helpful video

Thanks I have done tons of things without the ruler. Now when I 've seen how easy and handy it is I will start using it more. THANKS

Very informative. When I enter 0/0 in the green locations, it moves my project down and to the left of the Workplane but leaves the ruler where I placed it! Perhaps something changed with the versions since the video was made. Regardless, this was a helpful video.

Good definitely learned something! Thanks

Can I save projects as gcode with tinkercad ?

Can I save projects as gcode with tinkercad ?

Thank you!

Thanks

Thank you for this! No more side math to calculate centers.

Thanks, great video, just what I needed!

Vielen Dank! Sehr gut erklärt! ----Thank you so much! Very well explained!

CAN YOU DO INCHES IN TINKERCAD?

New to TinkerCad and this was really helpful. Thanks.

This is exactly what i wanted to know!

Thanks for sharing😀👍

excellent (y)

I noticed your version of Tinkercad is the same as mine that has no favorite button. I’ve tried to update but nothing has worked and cannot find anything about it. Any ideas?
