Challenges

Select Start ▸ on a skill-tree tutorial card. The editor opens a blank workspace (or the card’s own starter) on the Add tab, with the tutorial checklist below the top bar. In landscape, the checklist is above the canvas. Scene tutorial cards open a blank scene.

Every fig card starts from the same settings, regardless of the card before it: Mirror off, Sits on Touch, the Add tab’s Shade back on the fig’s own shading, Push in and Pull out on Tap faces, and a part’s page on its Action tab. Every card, fig or scene, also sets Dots back to ½ for Draw a shape and to 1 for Draw on the Add tab.

The checklist bar shows the step number (e.g., 1 of 6), the current step, a hint, Next ▸, and a close button (✕). Selecting the bar opens the full step list, with ‹ Back and Next ▸ buttons. Selecting anywhere outside the open list closes it.

Each step

Moving to a step opens the tab it needs, updates the hint in the status strip, and lights up the control to use. For example, “Drop a Sphere” lights up the Sphere shape, and “Stack the middle ball” lights up Move on the part’s Action tab. Selecting the current step in the open list lights it up again. The light is on the control itself, never on the card’s own words or on a label with the same name. When a step opens the share sheet, the checklist stays above it, and Next ▸ doesn’t close the sheet.

Finishing a step

For modeling steps, any change to the model counts. The step is marked done (✓), the status strip changes to Success. Tap Next to continue., and Next ▸ lights up. Steps the app can’t check on the model (e.g., Color it) count as done as soon as they open. ‹ Back goes back to the step before. Scene tutorial steps count as done as soon as they open.

The last step

On the last step, the bar’s button changes to Done, and the open list’s button changes to Done. Make yours →. The model you built is saved to your library on its own, with “practice” added (e.g., Snowman practice). The tutorial gives 10 star points, and the app moves to a blank canvas for the make your own version part. Star points are given once per signed-in account. Playing a finished tutorial again gives no more points. Tutorials you finish while signed out stay on the device and go to the next account that signs in on it.

Scene tutorials end at Done. The scene saves, the tutorial closes, and the status line changes to Done. Keep adding to this scene. Star points work the same way.

Selecting ✕ ends the tutorial and keeps your model in the editor. Leaving the editor does the same. Selecting Start ▸ on the tutorial card starts it over.
