Animation Tutorial 01

What is the purpose of using animation methods like exploded views, trail lines, and annotations in design communication?

• To communicate the assembly design to collaborators, stakeholders, and customers

• To create a 3D model of the design

• To enhance the visual appeal of the design

• To reduce the file size of the design

Which workspace should be active to perform animation activities in the tutorial?

• Animation

• Design

• Modeling

• Rendering

What is the first step in creating an animation according to the tutorial?

• Set up the scene by rotating the part and centering the model on the screen

• Animate the Grip so it is 40 mm off the part

• Hide the Blade Cradle at 3.5 seconds

• Add trail lines to the animation

What is the name of the blue zone that the arrow is pointing to is the ​ (a)   . The gray indication bar in the blue zone is known as the ​ (b)   .

• scratch zone
• playhead
• arrow
• lock zone
• edit zone
• play line

There are two main methods for moving the playhead along the timeline. What are they?

• Dragging along the timeline and clicking on the timeline.

• Dragging along the timeline and typing in the time on the timeline

• Typing in the time on the timeline and clicking on the timeline

• Clicking on the timeline and using the arrow keys to move along the timeline.

The timeline turns green indicating the length of the animation.

• True

• False

If the playhead is not in the scratch zone and you orbit around your part, will that create a new animation in your video?

• Yes

• No

You are trying to set up a scene for an animation and you need to manipulate the model so you are looking at it from the correct angle. What is one of the first things you should do to your timeline before adjusting the model?

In activity 1, you use the transform components tool, what does this tool do?

• Moves a component anywhere along the 3 axis

• Moves a component anywhere along the 2 axis

• Makes the component larger and/or smaller

• Makes the component rotate while getting larger and smaller
