GroIMP Module XL English
Set of Tasks 1
- Please design a cylinder with defined color, diameter and length, using only the command F0.
- Now model the same cylinder using the command F with direct specification of parameters. Please insert a gap between the cylinder from (a) and the new cylinder. The gap should have a predefined length.
- Compare both objects in the attribute editor. For the second cylinder, it is possible to change form and color by modifying the attributes directly in the attribute editor. How can this be done for the first cylinder (hint: "3D modelling / shader")?
- Find out how you can generate the other primitive objects, which are listed in the menu Objects -> Primitives, directly by the turtle. Initially it is possible to create them without specification of parameters (e.g., Box()). To find out which parameters are required for a direct specification, again the attribute editor can be employed – and possibly error messages in the message window. An alternative, more reliable way is to look under the corresponding class names in the "API documentation" (under "Help"; click there on "All classes", then they will be listed alphabetically and you will find specifications of the possible "constructors" of these classes, where the input attributes are listed). Test this at least for "Cone", "Frustum", "Parallelogram".
