To import a 3D model into Tinkercad, you begin the process within a new design by using the 'Import' function.
Importing existing 3D models allows you to bring external shapes and objects into your Tinkercad designs for modification or integration. The initial steps to start this process are straightforward and accessed directly within the editor interface.

Follow these steps to access the import function and select your file:
- Log into Tinkercad. Ensure you are signed in to your account to access the design dashboard.
- In your Dashboard, tap to "Create new design". This opens a blank workspace where you can begin modeling or import existing assets.
- Next, tap "Import" at the top right of the editor that opens. This button is specifically for bringing external files into your current design.
