What are nets?Video TranscriptupdownHere’s the 3D Crew. Looking good guys! Yeah, if you wanted to construct your own 3D shape, you would do it by first drawing a net. This is what the shape would look like if it was opened out flat. Now, if only there was some way to see these guy's net forms by, flattening them? Ah...bit harsh. But, uh, thank you! Great examples of nets here. Luckily of course, the nets can fold back into their 3D shapes. Well, most can. Spheres are a funny bunch. It's pretty difficult to make a net of a sphere. Still! Looking... good...though.Nets of 3D shapesThe net of a 3D shape is what it looks like if it is opened out flat.
