This applet goes through the steps to draw a cube. The idea is to use different projections and step through drawing the cube. This should help you see three-dimensional shapes from the different projections. Use the navigation buttons to step through the construction.[br]Step 1: Draw a square in the x-y plane.[br]Step 2: Draw a connected square in the x-z plane.[br]Step 3: Draw a connected square in the y-z plane.[br]Step 4: Draw the cube side parallel to the y-z plane on the opposite side.[br]Step 5: Draw the 'top' square parallel to the x-z plane.[br]Step 6: Draw the 'front' square parallel to the y-z plane.[br]Change the view and restart the construction.[br][br]Try the style controls in the top right of the frame. [br][br]Look at different projections. The order of the projection tool buttons are : Isometric (+ axes are 120 degrees apart); Perspective (lines further away get shorter); 3D glasses (need color glasses to give each eye a different view); and Oblique (A reference 2D plane with closer out of plane being down and to the left ).[br][br]The Home view menu tool buttons are : Default view; Fit view to objects; View from +x,+y,+z center (good for isometric view); Top view (from +y axis); Front View ( from +z axis); Side View (from +x axis).[br][br]There is a rotate animation button that rotates the view about the y axis.[br][br]The goal here is to get familiar with drawings of three dimensional objects. [br][br]Note that lines behind a cube face are dashed.[br][br]
