Comments:

  • Turn sound up. Can't hear.
  • Explain explictly how 2 dimensions are specified: first dimension, comma, second dimension
  • Specify how you grouped. You just said you grouped, didn't say how.
  • State specifically how you explode.
  • Nice job showing what happens when things are not grouped.
  • Later you said triple click and group. Good. Explain this more - like where does your cursor need to be upon triple click?
  • 2:51 - explain how you outline an object.
  • You keep moving cursor to tools above - say which tools you are selecting when you do that.
  • 3:28 - explain how you rotate objects
  • 4-4:40 is not really clear - what does it mean to click in and click out?
  • 4:27 - explain the choices of tripleclick menu - this is the first time you are clicking on 'edit group'
  • 6:31 - state explicitly how you move it by the corner, and explain what other alignment options you have outside of 'by the corner'. Explain explicitly how you move along a side or edge.
