1. The document provides instructions for using patterns, grouping, hiding/showing, mirroring, and applying materials in a 3D design software. It describes how to create rectangular and circular patterns, path patterns along a spline, group objects, hide and show objects, mirror objects, and apply materials. 2. Key steps include selecting objects, using pattern tools to repeat objects in different directions or around an axis, grouping multiple objects, hiding objects by clicking the eye icon, mirroring objects across a plane, and applying materials of different colors. 3. The goal is to learn various techniques for finishing 3D designs using patterns, grouping, transformations, and materials.

1. Select a cube and place it on the grid.
2. Select Rectangle from the pattern menu.
3. SELECT the cube, the object you are going to repeat.
4. CLICK on direction in the sub menu, then CLICK on one or two directions.
5. DRAG the cube in the directions you want the shape to repeat.
6. CLICK tick box to delete.

Section 2 – Circular
1. SELECT a sphere, PLACE it on the grid.
2. SELECT circular from the pattern menu.
3. SELECT the sphere, the object you are going to repeat.
4. CLICK on axis in the sub menu and then CLICK on the grid edge, face or
line to refer as the axis for the pattern.

Section 3 – Path
1. SELECT a cube, PLACE it on the grid then SELECT a cone to snap to the
cube.
2. SELECT the spline from the sketch menu and draw it next to the cube.

4. Creative Design & Innovation subject 4 Instructor: Shamsa Aziz
3. SELECT pattern then SELECT path pattern.
4. SELECT solid SELECT your object on the grid
5.CLICK on the path, then CLICK on your sketch curve and MOVE around the
curve, the solid will repeat in the curve path.
6. CLICK on the third option. SELECT path direction, the solids will repeat
around the curve facing each other.

5. Creative Design & Innovation subject 5 Instructor: Shamsa Aziz
Section 4 – Grouping
1. SELECT several shapes to cruise or snap together on the grid.
2. SELECT the grouping tool then SELECT the solids you want to group.
Note: When you go to the sub menu any option you choose will now work on
the group as a unit
3. SELECT ungroup to ungroup the objects.

6. Creative Design & Innovation subject 6 Instructor: Shamsa Aziz
Section 5 – Hide and Show
1. SELECT several shapes from the primitives menu to PLACE on the grid.
2. CLICK on the shape you want to hide, GO to the bottom menu and CLICK
on the eye. The shape will be invisible.
Note: If you want to see the shape again, GO to the side bar, CLICK on the
sixth icon, SELECT show solids, and the shape will be visible
Section 6 – Mirror
1. SELECT a cube, PLACE it on the grid.
2. Go to the main menu and SELECT pattern, then SELECT mirror in the sub
menu.

7. Creative Design & Innovation subject 7 Instructor: Shamsa Aziz
3. SELECT the solid on your grid.
4. CLICK on mirror plane in the sub menu, Then CLICK on the face of the
object you want to mirror. Your shape is then mirrored or copied.
Section 7– Materials
1. SELECT several shapes to PLACE on the grid.

8. Creative Design & Innovation subject 8 Instructor: Shamsa Aziz
2. SELECT materials and then SELECT the material and color you want to
add.
3. Try the variations with your shapes.
