Presentation: Final Model, Drawings + Renderings

Introduction: Presentation: Final Model, Drawings + Renderings

If you have been taking this class with the intention of designing something for your own personal use, then now is the time that you would take your final design and make a finished version in the final material!

We have some great fabrication classes to help you with that if you don't have experience in the material you'd like to use, or just want to brush up on your skills:

Metalworking with randofo

Mold Making & Casting with me

Welding with audreyobscura

Woodworking with mikeasaurus

Lamp Making with me

And classes that cover almost everything electronic .

Depending on the fabrication method you plan to use, this could mean having to make 2D CAD drawings for cutting parts on a CNC machine or creating a 3D rendering for use with a 3D printer. I cover both of these processes below.

If you don't require any further info to move ahead with your final product, then thank you so much for taking my class! And please send me photos of your finished thang.

If you will be presenting your design or handing it off to be manufactured, you will want to follow along with this final lesson.

There are 3 main components to a completed design:

• Presentation model/prototype
• Technical drawings
• 3D rendering

Step 1: A Presentation Model/Prototype

As I mentioned earlier, you can absolutely make most final prototypes using hand and standard studio/workshop tools. The final presentation model is meant to be a clear representation of what the finished product would look like. It doesn't have to function as the finished, manufactured product would, nor does it even have to be out of the same material that the product will be produced in (painted foam is commonly used). It just needs to communicate the form, scale, and look of the product so that others can understand your vision (think movie prop).

Full disclosure: In most cases, a 3D rendering of the finished design will suffice, especially for manufacturing (the image for this lesson is a 3D model of my project NOT a real one!). But if you are trying to get funding or convince someone of the genius that is your new idea, having a physical model that they can see in space and touch is incredibly helpful.

Step 2: Technical Drawings

The job of technical drawings is to visually communicate dimensions, specifications, and how something is constructed. A set of technical drawings is called working drawings , and these are sent to manufacturers so they have all the information they need to work from (shapes, dimensions, material specifications, etc.) when producing your product.

These can still be hand drawn, but if you use a CAD (computer aided design) or vector based software to create your drawings (like AutoCad or Adobe Illustrator ), those drawings can also act as a 'pattern' and be exported as a file type that communicates with laser cutters, water jet cutters, etc. – any CNC machine that cuts flat parts. Providing CAD files can save you money, as it will save the manufacturer's from having to generate those drawings themselves.

If you'd like to learn how to make your own rapid prototyped parts form CAD drawings, check out the following free Instructables classes:

Laser Cutting with JON-A-TRON

CNC with JON-A-TRON

A technical drawing usually contains top down drawings of the individual pieces, front, side, and section views –all with dimensions, a 3/4 view of the complete product, and sometimes an exploded view of how the parts fit together.

As I mentioned in the ideation lesson, JON-A-TRON also has a class on Design Sketching that covers all of the terms and how to draw the different views you'll need for your drawings.

If you don't already know how to use a 2D CAD or vector based software, I recommend downloading a free trial version of AutoCad LT and going through their great tutorials .

Step 3: 3D Rendering / Drawing

Generating a 3D model of your product is a great way to:

• create a visual representation of your 'finished' product for use in presentations, pitch decks, and to send to manufacturers to aid production
• get away with NOT having to do your technical drawings in a separate 2D software

3D CAD/CAM (computer aided manufacturing) software will not only create beautiful renderings, but allow you to generate technical drawings with dimensions, do 3D exploded drawings of all the parts – showing how they go together – and export files for 3D printing or CNC machining.

If you're interested in learning how to 3D render and print, I highly recommend trying the 3D CAD/CAM software Fusion 360. Full disclosure, it's an Autodesk product (Autodesk owns Instructables), but it really is just a super easy-to-use, intuitive software. Plus it's FREE for students, teachers, hobbyists, and start-ups!

Autodesk Fusion 360 (free)

This is a powerful 3D modeling platform that's easy to learn but has endless potential. With it, you can design complex 3D objects for practically any kind of fabrication, digital or otherwise.

Click here to sign up for free as a Hobbyist / Enthusiast / Startup or as a Student or Educator .

• Follow one of the links above to download the app (don't use the App Store on Mac).
• Enter your email and download the free trial.
• Install and setup a free Autodesk ID account.
• When you open Fusion, select the Trial Counter in the upper toolbar (it tells you how many days are left on your trial).
• In the next dialog box, select " Register for Free Use ".
• Sign up as a Start-Up or Enthusiast (Free). You can also Sign up as a Student or Educator (Free) if you're a student or educator at a registered institution. This will give you free use of Fusion 360 for as long as you need it (not just a 30-day trial).
• Select the "I accept Terms and Conditions" checkbox and click Submit .

Once you've downloaded the software, check out JON-A-TRON's 3D Printing Class . It will take you through creating a 3D rendering step-by-step! And then once you've got a handle on generating those, he'll show you how to 3D print your creation!

NOTE: My 3D renderings were done by Michael Sagan, the head of the Fusion 360 Customer Success Team (I've just started learning the program!) and they also have lots of helpful resources, also know as Virtual Labs that troubleshoot the Fusion 360 learning curve. They also have great webinars you can sign up for coming up on different Fusion 360 features. Check them out !

Another way to get a 3D rendering of your design into a 3D software without having to draw it, is to 3D scan your final prototype. My co-worker MikaelaHolmes has a great (free!) class on 3D scanning using photogrammetry – which means that you don't need an expensive 3D scanner, just a camera! This is an easy and low-tech way to get high tech results!

The future is now. :)

Step 4: Become a Professional Designer

I wrote this class primarily for hobbyist makers and entrepreneurial inventors. Becoming a professional product designer (for a company) would require a much more rigorous education than I'm providing here (i.e.: a degree). :)

If you're interested in pursuing a career in product design, here's a link to a list of some of the top programs in the USA and abroad that was compiled, and well researched, by a prospective student:

Top Design Schools

What to look for in a program

A good product design program will offer classes in:

• Design drawing/sketching
• Concept development
• Design research
• Design history
• Model making: analog & digital
• Digital visualization: Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator, CAD/CAM software
• Rapid prototyping
• Advanced manufacturing
• Material innovation
• Product life-cycle analysis (sustainable and circular design)
• Services design (human-centered design)
• Design ethics
• Business 101

With a focus on leadership, cross-disciplinary projects, and critical thinking.

Karen Hofmann , chair of product design at Art Center College of Design , says:

"As we move forward, we are anticipating that in the next decade designers will continue to be innovators and inventors—but that they will also have the opportunity to take on more significant leadership roles in organizations, from startups to leading multinational corporations and even governments."

" As business organizations continue to embrace design, the role of the designer expands as well. Designers are not only responsible for visualizing and making, they now are "facilitators" as the design process has become more participatory and collaborative inside of organizations as well as with the emergence of open innovation models. "

There are exciting opportunities for future product designers and for how the design process can be applied.

How to get ahead before you even start

READ / The following books are essential reads for any designer:

The Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman

Emotional Design: Why We Love (or Hate) Everyday Things by Don Norman

The Green Imperative: Ecology and Ethics in Design and Architecture by Victor Papanek

Elements of Design: Rowena Reed Kostellow and the structure of visual relationships by Gail Greet Hannah

The Laws of Simplicity by John Maeda

Manufacturing Processes for Design Professionals by Rob Thompson

WATCH / Netflix is doing an AMAZING series on different design disciplines called Abstract: The Art of Design (you may need to be logged in to access the link). Every episode is a peek behind the curtain and I found each designer featured incredibly inspiring. WATCH IT!!!!! Do it. Now. Really.

LISTEN / Podcasts are a great source of design thinking, design history, human-ness, and inspiration. My favorites are:

99% Invisible with Roman Mars

Adventures in Design with Mark Brickey

Design Matters with Debbie Millman

OBSERVE & BE INSPIRED / Every day, try to notice details that you maybe have never paid attention to before. How do the things you use work? How do they feel in your hands? How do they look? Which door handles are successful, which are completely counter intuitive. And be inspired by these details!

Step 5: Happy Design Trails!

Thank you for taking my class. :)

Best, Paige

Four Choices in Architectural Presentation Drawings

Winning a project bid requires architectural presentation drawings that demonstrate to the potential client the merits of the structure’s design concept and is a direct indication of an architectural firm’s skill in creativity and technical ability. Poorly drafted presentation drawings can result in losing great projects to other firms. We offer four different avenues to presenting your architectural concept which are highly illustrative and demonstrate professionalism to your clients:

2D Elevations and Sections Simple projects such as warehouses and small office complexes may only require 2D elevations of the building facade and cross-sections that illustrate interior area functions. Overall dimensions and floor heights of the building are detailed along with the proper tones and hatching applied to the exterior surfaces to emphasize different materials can supply ample information and clearly illustrate simpler structures. These drawings are best printed in high resolution color on heavy board surfaces to enhance the presentation.

Isometric and Perspectives Drawings A better visual solution for non-technical clients is given with an isometric or perspective view of the structure which emulates a three-dimensional view and shows the relationship between multiple sides of the building. Color and texture rendering of these drawings along with landscaping features will offer clients a greater representation of the proposed structure. The ability to alter view orientation in real-time can help create an exciting presentation as the building is tilted and rotated to different angles.

3D Wire Frame Models As the pre-cursor to rendered models, wire frame 3D models are often employed to allow simultaneous viewing of underlying facets of the structure, such as beams, floors and walls. When the structural solution to a project outweighs the building appearance, wire frame models are the perfect solution. With the application of automatic hidden line removal, the model easily converts to a vector line exterior view of the structure.

3D Rendered Models Fully rendered 3D models of the proposed structure is an optimum solution and well worth the investment for projects that are high-end or have great public interest. Surface textures can nearly replicate real world materials and give your clients a glimpse of what the new building will look like in the real world. The ability to simulate an actual building walk-through is an added benefit to solids models.

What to consider when presenting your CAD model

• September 16, 2015
• Khadija Ouajjani
• CAD files and models , Career Development

I remember the first time I was asked to make a presentation to explain the CAD model of a mechanical system and give a concise yet technical account of its features. I couldn’t help but reply instantly: “But the 3D model is self-explanatory.” My manager at that time thought I was trying to get away from a boring task and I thought that the guy was trying to imprint every last bit of his general project management training on my specific (and maybe unorthodox) design processes.

Ask specific questions about the desired content

Two cups of coffee with cinnamon later, I had accepted the challenge and was trying to figure out what to possibly put in the report. I was used to manipulating a 3D CAD model while talking and answering questions. Now, I had to make something with written bullet points and pictures. Plus, nobody had done that before in the company. And to top it off, the company’s internet filters denied access to most of the links that google would come up with.

Before getting all confused, I got back to the manager and inquired about the following:

To whom is this presentation directed?

Is it for the customer or the team I’m working with, or maybe just for the archives or the engineering managing board? Depending on whom I’m dealing with, the level or details and the points to highlight will differ. I will not give my colleagues a half-baked presentation on my design and I certainly would’t give too many details on the software’s features which I used to model a specific shape with the managing board.

What’s the specific purpose of the presentation?

Should I detail the CAD tree and features I used to model the assembly? Or should I rather speak about the assembly itself and the usefulness of the parts and features I included in regards to how it works? If I were to lecture someone on how I model, I will certainly need a completely different presentation than the one where I introduce the system I modeled and the way it works.

My manager wasn’t too sure about the content or who will actually be there to see the POC I made. So he told me to go ahead and prepare for the worst case scenario. That accounted for two more cups of cinnamon coffee. But at least the guy was generous enough to pay for them and to review the presentation I was slowly building. After several iterations, we came up with a certain outline of what we were supposed to present.

When addressing engineering colleagues, keep it technical

If you are sharing the features of your CAD with colleagues more interested in the process rather than the outcome of your work, the main pointer in what to present is to quantify the tasks that took the most of time or mental effort. Summarize wherever possible – and do a good job! If making an easily modifiable sketch was the main challenge, offer insight into how you tackled the different quotations.

If you took some time figuring out how to come up with a peculiar shape, make sure to detail the steps that led to its construction and the numbers that dimension it. Share screenshots of your CAD model under different angles but have the software open with your model in it, in case a fellow colleague would like a closer look or more explanations as to some part of it.

Your colleagues will probably buy you coffee if you:

• share your ordering or numbering system of your model
• highlight any formulas and permissible shortcuts you used
• listen patiently while they describe “a better way” to do it and replace “better” by “different” in your head while giving it some thought nonethless

When addressing the customer or outsiders, highlight requirements

If you are to present a summary of your CAD model to the customer who stated a certain need or the sales guy, you need to make your presentation in regards to the initial requirement emitted and to how your model answers to it.

Have a general view of your CAD model, with general facts such as dimensions, weight, main materials, assemblies while stating the requirement it answers. Highlight different parts of it while explaining in bullet points how they help the whole system achieve its purpose. If you have a complex shape or an expensive part somewhere, make sure to mention it and explain its purpose fully and why it’s mandatory (if that’s what you believe). But, think of having other options to suggest and keep in mind their drawbacks as compared to your premium work.

Your customer will probably crack a smile if you:

• make sure to present your model under an elegant (hear simple) and yet within budget (hear cheap) light
• you present your model with different options whenever it’s possible while quantifying them in terms he/she understands (it will require time to develop, it will need specific machining, etc.)
• are able to withstand (or even follow) their alien additions to your model and rephrase them as specific theoretical ideas depicting the usefulness they were supposed to have, then approve this one sole thing with him/her and keep it in mind and paper

When addressing the management, narrate a story

If management is in the audience, you will have to focus on telling them a story while maintaining a precise yet “management accessible” vocabulary throughout your presentation or report. Always start by bringing up the context of your work and the objective behind your presentation.

You must also be aware if the project management planning used by your company includes a specific template of presentations, thus keeping up with your company’s policy and allowing a quick archiving. Also, think of putting an index that follows throughout the presentation so as your audience is able to locate your progression at every moment and be able to ask you easily on a point to go back to.

You may include technical details in your presentation but don’t dwell over them and give a general outline on a 2D draft filled with symbols or quotations as if it were a doodle.

Management doesn’t want to check your technical skills as much as they want an account of your endeavour. They will let you know if they need you to elaborate on a specific point afterwards.

The management will be ecstatic and use many positive adjectives if you:

• make them understand more than usually do when listening to an engineer
• keep it short, especially when it’s very technical or not linked straight away with resources or money
• point out that the genius idea of making this presentation is from management guy at the left

Think of being extensive in the report, not the presentation

Your presentation is supposed to serve one purpose: to present. Therefore, don’t think of packing your slides with tons of information. The audience doesn’t need every detail right then and there. For that purpose, create a report.

This report is the extensive version of your presentation: it contains not only what you presented, but also the descriptions, the details, the additional specifications, the annexes and the further perspectives of the work. It should be structured in a reading format with an index and accurate referencing and all in all, it should be your reference document if any of the three parties we discussed ask you a question or to inquire about further complements. Not to mention that it will live in the archive with your name on it. Make it count.

Computer Aided Design (CAD)Introduction to CAD

What is CAD ? • CAD includes techniques that use computers in the design process including drafting, stress analysis and motion analysis. • But in the last 35 years, CAD has come to refer more specifically to Computer Aided Design and Drafting. • CAD is program/software is an electronic tool that enables you to make quick and accurate drawings with the use of a computer.

What is CAD? • Computer drawings are neat &clean, highly presentable, and can be modified easily. • With CAD, Automobile parts or components can be modeled, visualized, revised, and improve on the computer screen before any engineering drawings have been created.

What is CAD? • Components that have been modeled can be assembled in the virtual environment of the computer. The relative motion of moving parts can be animated on the computer. The part can be analysed computationally and redesigned. The machine tool path or mold filling flow to fabricate the part can be modeled on the computer. The part model can be downloaded to a rapid prototyping system that can create a physical model of the part in a few hours with virtually no human intervention.

Features of CAD Some of the important features of using CAD are; • Presentations - You can create fine drawings with presentation symbols and text styles. - You can use CAD programs to make on screen presentations.

Features of CAD • Flexibility in editing drawings - CAD provides the flexibility to make quick alterations to drawings - Some of the editing capabilities are such as:move or copy drawing elements, enlarge or reduce size of a drawing, make multiple copies of a drawing, change units of measure etc.

Features of CAD • Units and accuracy level - CAD program allows you to work with great accuracy. You can also work with different units of measure, such as architectural units, engineering units, scientific units and surveyor units. • Storage and access of drawings - It is fast and convenient to organize CAD drawings. You can have thousands of drawings on a computer’s hard disk and you can open any one of them within seconds.

Features of CAD • Sharing CAD drawings - The drawings can be shared by a number of users, allowing them to coordinate projects and work as a team. This is accomplished by connecting different computers via a network. You can also publish your drawings on the Internet and collaborate CAD projects using a web site.

Features of CAD • Project report - The computer can be used to prepare project reports • Engineering analysis - There is a separate category of programs called CAE that can use CAD drawings for engineering analysis.

Features of CAD • Computer aided manufacturing (CAM) - CAM is a common method of manufacturing used by large Industries. - These systems import CAD drawings into CAM programs to automate the manufacturing process easily.

CAD Models • A CAD model is a computer representation of an object or part • It contains all of the design information including geometry, dimensioning, tolerances, materials and manufacturing information. • CAD models replace the paper blueprints and engineering drawings • The simplest model used in CAD is a 2D model. This model is essentially the computer graphics equivalent to an orthographic projection

CAD Models • A 3D model is the most general model used in CAD software. This model is equivalent to an isometric view • 2 basic types of 3D models are wire frame and surface models. • In a 3D wire frame model, only edges of the object are represented. • A 3D surface model defines the object in terms of surfaces such as plates (flat) and shells (curved) in addition to edges.

Solid Modeling • The current state of the art in CAD, is the method of representing an object. Unlike wire frame or surface models, a solids model represents an object in the virtual environment just as it exists in reality, having volume as well as surfaces and edges. In this way, the interior of the object is represented in the model as well as the outer surfaces.

Use of solid models • It can be used for stress analysis, heat transfer analysis, fluid flow analysis, and computer aided manufacturing. • In the manufacturing process to automatically generate machine tool paths to machine an object. • To simulate the removal of material from an initial block of material on the computer • Can be linked to Computer Numerical Control CNC) machine to carry out the removal of material automatically allowing many identical parts to be machined based directly on the solid models.

Takeda’s TAK-861 Phase 2b Late-Breaking Data Presentations at SLEEP 2024 Demonstrate Clinically Meaningful Impact of Oral Orexin Agonist in Narcolepsy Type 1 Compared to Placebo

Phase 2b Trial Demonstrated Statistically Significant and Clinically Meaningful Improvements Across Primary and all Secondary Endpoints up to 8 Weeks

TAK-861 is the First Oral Orexin Receptor 2 Agonist to Potentially Address the Underlying Pathophysiology of NT1

Safety Results Indicated TAK-861 is Generally Safe and Well Tolerated

Phase 3 Trials of TAK-861 to be Initiated in 1H FY2024

OSAKA, Japan and CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts, June 3, 2024 – Takeda ( TSE: 4502/NYSE:TAK ) will present today positive results from its Phase 2b trial of TAK-861 in narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) as late-breaking data presentations at SLEEP 2024, the 38th annual meeting of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society. TAK-861 is an investigational oral orexin receptor 2 (OX2R) agonist and, based on the results, has the potential to provide transformative efficacy in addressing the overall disease burden in people with NT1. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple dose trial, TAK-861-2001 ( NCT05687903 Go to https://classic.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05687903?term=TAK-861&draw=2&rank=3 ), in 112 patients with NT1 demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements across primary and secondary endpoints, with efficacy sustained over 8 weeks of treatment.*

NT1 is a chronic, rare neurological central disorder of hypersomnolence caused by a significant loss of orexin neurons, resulting in low levels of orexin neuropeptides in the brain and cerebrospinal fluid. No currently approved treatments target the underlying pathophysiology of NT1. People with NT1 suffer from excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), cataplexy (sudden loss of muscle tone), disrupted nighttime sleep, hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations and sleep paralysis. These debilitating symptoms lead to a markedly reduced quality of life and can severely impact job performance, academic achievement and personal relationships. TAK-861 is designed to address the orexin deficiency in NT1 by selectively stimulating the orexin receptor 2.

The presentation highlights results from the Phase 2b trial including:

The primary endpoint demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful increased sleep latency on the Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) versus placebo across all doses (LS mean difference versus placebo all p ≤0.001). Improvements were sustained over 8 weeks.

Consistent results were achieved in the key secondary endpoints including the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and Weekly Cataplexy Rate (WCR), demonstrating significantly improved subjective measures of sleepiness and cataplexy (sudden loss of muscle tone) frequency versus placebo that were also sustained over 8 weeks.

The majority of NT1 patients in the trial were found to be within normative ranges for MWT and ESS by the end of the 8-week treatment period as a result of these sustained improvements.

The majority of the participants who completed the trial enrolled in the long-term extension (LTE) study with some patients reaching one year of treatment.

The trial also included additional exploratory endpoints that showed meaningful improvements in narcolepsy symptoms and functioning according to most participants. These data will also be presented in poster presentations at SLEEP and at future scientific congresses.

The dataset showed that TAK-861 was generally safe and well tolerated during the study, with no treatment-related serious treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) or discontinuations due to TEAEs.

No cases of hepatotoxicity or visual disturbances were reported in the Phase 2b trial or in the ongoing LTE study. The most common TEAEs were insomnia, urinary urgency and frequency, and salivary hypersecretion. Most TEAEs were mild to moderate in severity, and most started within 1-2 days of treatment and were transient.

“In this trial, TAK-861's profile balanced efficacy and safety with the potential to establish a new standard of care for people with NT1,” said Sarah Sheikh, M.D., M.Sc., B.M., B.Ch., MRCP, Head, Neuroscience Therapeutic Area Unit and Head, Global Development at Takeda. “We are dedicated to investigating the full potential of orexin biology and advancing TAK-861 to late-stage clinical trials, with the ultimate goal of delivering a potential first-in-class treatment that can make a meaningful difference for patients.”

Based on these results, and in consultation with global health authorities, Takeda plans to initiate global Phase 3 trials of TAK-861 in NT1 in the first half of its fiscal year 2024. The Phase 2b data also supported the recent Breakthrough Therapy designation for TAK-861 for the treatment of EDS in NT1 from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Breakthrough Therapy designation is a process designed to expedite the development and review of a drug that is intended to treat a serious or life-threatening condition, for which preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over available therapies on at least one clinically significant endpoint.

Takeda will be hosting a call to discuss these data this evening, June 3, at 7:30 p.m. CT for investors and analysts. Presentation slides and a virtual meeting link will be available here .

Additional presentations on TAK-861 will be shared during the SLEEP 2024 poster presentation session on Tuesday, June 4, from 10:00 to 11:45 a.m. CT, assessing function and health-related quality of life in individuals with NT1, as well as patient satisfaction with TAK-861 treatment. There is no change in Takeda’s full year consolidated forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 (FY2024), announced on May 9, 2024.

About Takeda’s Orexin Franchise

Takeda is advancing the field of orexin therapeutics with a multi-asset franchise offering tailored treatments to unlock the full potential of orexin. Orexin is a key regulator of the sleep-wake cycle and is involved in other essential functions, including respiration and metabolism. TAK-861 is the leading program in this franchise. The company is also progressing multiple orexin agonists in patient populations with normal levels of orexin neuropeptides and other indications where orexin biology is implicated. This includes TAK-360, an oral OX2R agonist being investigated for narcolepsy type 2 and idiopathic hypersomnia, which recently initiated a Phase 1 trial and received Fast Track designation from the U.S. FDA, and danavorexton (TAK-925), an intravenously administered OX2R agonist being investigated in a Phase 2 trial in patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea undergoing general anesthesia.

Laser point or draw on PowerPoint slides in Microsoft Teams meetings

When using PowerPoint Live to share content in a Teams meeting, emphasize your points and engage viewers with the colorful laser pointer and drawing tools. Your “ink” will be visible to everyone in the meeting.

Only the presenter can point and draw on the slides.

Focus viewer attention with the laser pointer

To create a short line simply move the mouse around. To create a longer line, press and hold the mouse button as you draw.

Tip:  If you quickly make several marks, they will all be visible at the same time and then fade away together.

Highlight and connect ideas with the drawing tools

These markings will last throughout the meeting.

Press and hold the mouse button as you draw.

Erase your ink marks

Stop drawing
