  |<!--col2-->'''Ruler (R)''' allows for you to easily change the dimensions of the shape. Just place it anywhere on the workplane and the dimensions will appear. Just click on the dimensions and you can change their value. Highlighted in blue are the overall dimensions, in green are the offsets between the shape's endpoint and that of the ruler. The ruler mode can be changed to dimension symmetrically from the shape's midplanes as well.

  |<!--col2-->'''Ruler (R)''' allows for you to easily change the dimensions of a shape. Just place it anywhere on the workplane and dimensions from the ruler origin to the part origin as well as the part's major dimensions will appear. Just click on any of the dimensions and you can change their value. Highlighted in blue are the major dimensions, in green are the offsets between the shape's endpoint and that of the ruler. The ruler tool also has a mode where changing the dimensions of the shapes will happen symmetrically from the shape's midplanes. Simply click on the circled three lines (bottom left of the ruler origin) to toggle between modes.

===Build plate adhesion===

===Build plate adhesion===

When printing, adhesion is one of the main considerations. Make sure your design contains an adequate flat section that, if used as a base for the print, will not lead to excessive overhangs. The Thingiverse hand is a bad example the way it is positioned in '''[[Digital technologies/3D printing/3D modeling- Beginner#Importing Models to TinkerCAD|Importing Models]]''' section of this article, but the way the flat section of the wrist is designed, and considering the position of the fingers not significantly overhanging (perhaps the pinkie is slightly overhanging), placed on the its flat wrist section, this hand model is expected to print properly without the use of adhesion or even supports!
