Speaker 1: Two dimensional is width and height and three dimensional is width, height and depth.
As a kitchen designer what we do, we go out to see our customers and actually take measurements.
Those measurements come into the show room and then what we do is sketchily applied onto our software as a 2D drawing.
We then refer avatar 3D format and this allows us to see a more realistic view of the kitchen.
Also it allows our customers to view it to see if they like the design aspect that we've put together for them and if we do actually get that wrong at the plan stage, it'll actually cost us time because we need to actually go back and actually rectify the problems and it'll also cost us money.
Speaker 2: This is a Jaffa vending stack.
It's important we have a 3D picture of this pattern on here and it's important we follow it so the correct amount of boxes are on the pallet and also so that it's safe in transit when it's being delivered to the warehouses and cash and carrys.
Be able to describe and work with 3D shapes like cubes, spheres and cylinders.
