The 3D puzzle was assembled and I took photos of the objects plan and elevation views. The pictures i took were printed out and a piece of tracing paper was placed on top. With the help of a scale ruler, the object’s plan and elevation were drawn by tracing through the picture.

Section and structure

The wooden pieces of the 3D puzzle are interlocked within one anther with no spaces in between. This is measured by careful examination of how the pieces assemble

Friction associated between the two interlocking pieces enable them to stick together firmly

Section: Leg

In this case, the leg was examined in detail and is measured by taking out the separate constituents of the legs and tracing them on paper.

Friction caused by the connecting piece holds the two leg segments together

Wooden Kit The 3 wooden kits were being traced over on to paper.

Wooden Kit

Larger and longer pieces are located in the centre of the kit as it occupy more space

Smaller pieces are either put in between the larger pieces or near the edge of the wooden kit

Wooden Kit

The “ribs” of the Tyrannosaurus is shaped like a fork with a semi-enclosed space. A smaller “bone” piece is then placed in the semi-enclosed space to enable more effective spatial use of the wooden kit
