Tinkercad design

A design I made on Tinkercad:
This design was made using a 3D designing platform called Tinkercad. 
For the main shape of the dill gauge, I used an octangular pyramid with an eight-sided diamond on top. On each face of the octangular pyramid, I put a hole with the measurement of the diameter underneath it. Similar to the drill gauge I made in class, this drill gauge has holes measuring at 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm, 6.8mm, 8mm, and 10mm. 

Method:
1. Create an ordinary pyramid using the basic shapes menu on the right-hand side of your screen.
2. Click on the shape and then change the number of sides the shape has from 4 to 8.
    by doing this you have created an 8 sided pyramid called an octangular pyramid.
3. Create 8 cylinders using the same menu on the right-hand side of your screen.
4. Change the height of all of the cylinders to whatever the height of your octangular pyramid is.
5. On the first cylinder, change the width of the cylinder to 3 by 3.
6. On the second one, change it to 4 by 4.
7. The third one to 5 by 5, the fourth one to 5.5 by 5.5, the fifth one to 6 by 6, the sixth one to 6.8 by
     6.8, the seventh one to 8 by 8, the eighth one to 10 by 10.
8. Then highlight and select all of the cylinders and change them all into holes.
9. Once you have changed the cylinders to holes, put them on each face of the octangular
    pyramid.
10. Highlight and select everything you have done so far, then click Ctrl + G to group everything 
      together.
11. After following these steps, your design should look like this

12. Make a box and turn it into a hole.
13. Put it on top of your octangular pyramid. Make sure that you don't cover your holes with your 
      box.
14. highlight and select the box and your pyramid, then group them together.
15. This should create a flat area on top of your pyramid. It should look like this

16. Grab a diamond shape and then flip it upside down.
17. Put it on top of the flat area and aline each face of the diamond to each face of your pyramid.

18. Select the two shapes and then group them together.

19. Grab a text shape. Then change its shape from text to 3
20. Grab seven more and change the shapes each of them to match the measurements of the holes.
21. Change the size of the texts so that it can fit on the faces of your pyramid. Then put on on your pyramid.
22. Select all of your shapes and then group them together.
23.  FINISH.
