7	00:00:36.030	00:52.423	Coach	Like, having you construct, like, the basic shape. So, um, not including the cork, but, like, the, like, actual bottle part, um, the, like, tube part of it, and also the top of the tube, like, the, the opening of the tube.	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Plan" ]
8	00:52.423	00:00:54.860	Coach	So, would you be able to do that?	[ "Info Request" ]	[ "Articulation" ]
9	00:00:56.540	00:01:00.449	Learner	Uh, yeah, I think so.	[ "Answer", "Opinion" ]	[]
10	00:01:04.080	00:01:07.130	Learner	So you want me to draw the shape now?	[ "Info Request" ]	[]
11	00:01:07.130	00:01:13.800	Coach	Yeah, so basically, like, just, like, the, the basic shapes, the ones that are kind of, like, the light blue color.	[ "Answer", "Action Directive" ]	[ "Diagnosis" ]
12	00:01:15.180	00:01:15.700	Learner	Yeah.	[ "Backchannel" ]	[]
13	00:01:16.420	00:01:20.639	Learner	So I see the body part of this flask is a circle.	[ "Inform" ]	[]
14	00:01:21.130	00:01:24.729	Learner	Um, and the... the neck of this...	[ "Not Enough Info" ]	[]
15	00:01:25.220	01:33.494	Learner	Potion bottle is a rectangle. Uh, I'm trying to connect these two together. Um, like... like this.	[ "Inform" ]	[]
16	01:33.494	00:01:40.670	Learner	And then, uh, the top part, I think it's another rectangle, but it's, uh, horizontal.	[ "Opinion" ]	[]
17	00:01:41.460	00:01:46.890	Learner	Uh, and the corner seemed to... I need to adjust the corner radius, because, um,	[ "Action Directive" ]	[]
18	00:01:47.090	00:01:48.799	Learner	I can see it is not,	[ "Not Enough Info" ]	[]
19	00:01:50.730	00:01:54.970	Learner	Like, a perfect rectangle, so I need to adjust it a little bit. Maybe not 20, maybe 10...	[ "Opinion", "Action Directive" ]	[]
20	00:01:55.350	00:01:56.340	Coach	Oh, no.	[ "Backchannel" ]	[ "Non-Instructive" ]
21	00:01:56.340	00:02:01.429	Learner	Accidentally removed it. Okay, I will... Okay, maybe 10. Yeah.	[ "Inform", "Backchannel" ]	[]
22	00:02:01.430	02:02.795	Coach	Yeah, awesome.	[ "Backchannel", "Opinion" ]	[ "Confirmation" ]
23	02:02.795	02:17.510	Coach	So, um, you see, like, you have all of these parts of the main bottle, so in order to make sure that they're all sort of, like, centered and aligned with each other, because when you have a real bottle, they're all gonna be centered.	[ "Inform" ]	[ "Explanation" ]
24	02:17.510	00:02:22.650	Coach	Um, I want you to, um, press the Shift button and click each of the shapes.	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Direct Instruction" ]
25	00:02:24.500	00:02:31.070	Coach	And so, um, on the right side toolbar, underneath position, do you see alignment?	[ "Info Request" ]	[ "Clarification" ]
26	00:02:32.790	00:02:33.500	Learner	Yes.	[ "Answer" ]	[]
27	00:02:33.500	02:34.550	Coach	Yeah, so click...	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Direct Instruction" ]
28	02:34.550	00:02:37.699	Coach	Yeah, exactly, the Align horizontal centers button.	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Confirmation", "Direct Instruction" ]
29	00:02:37.840	00:02:38.940	Learner	Mhm, okay.	[ "Backchannel" ]	[]
30	00:02:39.250	02:45.841	Coach	Yeah, and so I think yours were already, like, aligned pretty well to begin with, so, like, it didn't move them that much.	[ "Opinion", "Inform" ]	[ "Confirmation", "Diagnosis" ]
31	02:45.841	00:02:54.540	Coach	But in the future, like, going forward, when you want to align the centers of them, then, um, you should, do that same process.	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Tip" ]
32	00:02:54.760	00:02:55.260	Learner	Okay.	[ "Backchannel" ]	[]
33	00:02:55.260	00:03:05.179	Coach	And then, um, again, um, like, press... hold down the Shift button and click each of the layers, so each of the different shapes.	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Direct Instruction" ]
34	00:03:05.780	00:03:13.120	Coach	And another way that you can do this is if you kind of just, like, click anywhere outside of the shapes.	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Tip" ]
35	00:03:13.880	00:03:15.570	Learner	Uh, do I still need to hold Shift?	[ "Info Request" ]	[]
36	00:03:15.790	03:18.226	Coach	No, no, you don't have to hold Shift.	[ "Answer" ]	[ "Diagnosis" ]
37	03:18.226	00:03:25.139	Coach	Yeah, so just click outside, click again, and hold your mouse, and then drag across the different shapes.	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Direct Instruction" ]
38	00:03:26.830	00:03:28.010	Learner	Uh, click again?	[ "Info Request" ]	[]
39	00:03:28.010	00:03:33.090	Coach	Yeah, so click and drag across, across the shapes.	[ "Answer", "Action Directive" ]	[ "Direct Instruction" ]
40	00:03:33.550	00:03:34.650	Learner	Okay, yeah.	[ "Backchannel" ]	[]
41	00:03:35.130	03:39.907	Coach	Yeah, so that's another way that you can select them.	[ "Inform" ]	[ "Explanation" ]
42	03:39.907	00:03:48.559	Coach	Um, and so, um, now that you have these, um, selected, um, you can group them by right-clicking,	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Direct Instruction" ]
43	00:03:49.040	00:03:51.600	Coach	And then click Group selection.	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Direct Instruction" ]
44	00:03:51.940	00:03:52.550	Learner	Okay.	[ "Backchannel" ]	[]
45	00:03:52.550	03:55.440	Coach	And so, um, these will be your group.	[ "Inform" ]	[ "Explanation" ]
46	03:55.440	03:57.508	Coach	You can name it if you want to.	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Exploration" ]
47	03:57.508	04:00.185	Coach	Maybe name it, um, Bottle or something,	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Tip" ]
48	04:00.185	04:03.996	Coach	So go in the left panel under the layers,	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Direct Instruction" ]
49	04:03.996	00:04:09.420	Coach	And then double-click Group 1, and then you can change the name of it.	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Direct Instruction" ]
50	00:04:09.700	00:04:10.390	Learner	Okay.	[ "Backchannel" ]	[]
51	00:04:10.550	00:04:11.290	Coach	Yeah.	[ "Backchannel" ]	[ "Confirmation" ]
52	00:04:13.070	04:21.907	Coach	Alright, and so, because these are all the same color, um, now that we have them grouped, it's gonna be a lot easier to change the color of them.	[ "Inform" ]	[ "Explanation" ]
53	04:21.907	00:04:27.209	Coach	So, um, why don't you try changing the color to match what it has in the example image?	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Direct Instruction" ]
54	00:04:28.020	00:04:31.570	Learner	Um, yeah, so I just eyeball the color?	[ "Info Request" ]	[]
55	00:04:31.570	00:04:33.280	Coach	Yeah, pretty much.	[ "Answer" ]	[ "Confirmation" ]
56	00:04:33.440	00:04:39.980	Coach	Or you can make it a different color if you want, but, um, any... any color is	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Exploration" ]
57	00:04:40.230	00:04:40.860	Learner	Okay.	[ "Backchannel" ]	[]
58	00:04:40.860	00:04:42.290	Coach	--fine, honestly.	[ "Opinion" ]	[ "Confirmation", "Exploration" ]
59	00:04:42.290	00:04:42.920	Learner	Yeah.	[ "Backchannel" ]	[]
60	00:04:43.420	00:04:47.570	Learner	I think this... would be something similar.	[ "Opinion" ]	[]
61	00:04:47.710	00:04:49.339	Learner	Uh, yeah, I will go for this one.	[ "Action Directive" ]	[]
62	00:04:49.940	00:04:53.210	Coach	Maybe make it, like, a little bit more, like, blue?	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Diagnosis" ]
63	00:04:53.530	00:04:55.510	Learner	Okay. Yeah.	[ "Backchannel" ]	[]
64	00:04:57.650	00:04:59.179	Coach	Yeah, so if you, like...	[ "Not Enough Info" ]	[ "Non-Instructive" ]
65	00:04:59.420	00:04:59.980	Learner	Yeah.	[ "Backchannel" ]	[]
66	00:05:01.330	00:05:03.980	Coach	Perfect. Yes.	[ "Backchannel", "Opinion" ]	[ "Confirmation" ]
67	00:05:03.980	00:05:05.220	Learner	Okay, yeah.	[ "Backchannel" ]	[]
68	00:05:05.520	00:05:14.070	Coach	Yeah, so, um, yeah, so now you have the actual bottle part of it. Um, and so, um,	[ "Inform" ]	[ "Confirmation" ]
69	00:05:14.260	05:21.769	Coach	We want to make the actual, like, magic potion part of it, like, the, the pink stuff that's inside of it.	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Plan" ]
70	05:21.769	00:05:31.639	Coach	So why don't you start by, um, making, like, a circle that would go inside of the bottle, so something that would fit the shape of it.	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Direct Instruction" ]
71	00:05:31.810	00:05:32.460	Learner	Okay.	[ "Backchannel" ]	[]
72	00:05:34.490	00:05:35.170	Learner	Uh, no.	[ "Backchannel" ]	[]
73	00:05:35.860	00:05:39.950	Learner	This one... Okay. I think...	[ "Backchannel" ]	[]
74	00:05:52.520	00:05:53.100	Learner	Yeah.	[ "Backchannel" ]	[]
75	00:05:53.530	06:01.218	Coach	Alright, um, and so, um, I think this was something that you had a little bit of trouble, um, with when you were making the bear.	[ "Opinion" ]	[ "Diagnosis" ]
76	06:01.218	00:06:08.139	Coach	But, um, you see how it's sort of like a half circle that has, like, a little, like, twist inside of it?	[ "Info Request" ]	[ "Explanation" ]
77	00:06:08.140	00:06:08.780	Learner	Yes.	[ "Answer" ]	[]
78	00:06:08.780	00:06:12.680	Coach	Um, so to make this, we're going to click the circle,	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Direct Instruction" ]
79	00:06:13.810	00:06:15.710	Coach	Um, press enter.	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Direct Instruction" ]
80	00:06:16.080	00:06:17.160	Learner	Enter... Okay.	[ "Backchannel" ]	[]
81	00:06:17.160	00:06:25.050	Coach	Yeah, so this is the sort of... oh, sorry. Oh, actually, um, before... before we press enter, can you click out of the circle?	[ "Backchannel", "Action Directive" ]	[ "Direct Instruction" ]
82	00:06:25.690	00:06:27.979	Coach	Yeah, so click the circle again.	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Direct Instruction" ]
83	00:06:28.390	00:06:33.879	Coach	And then, when you hover over the circle, you see that little dot on the right?	[ "Info Request" ]	[ "Clarification" ]
84	00:06:33.880	00:06:34.640	Learner	Yeah.	[ "Answer" ]	[]
85	00:06:34.640	06:49.589	Coach	Yeah, so, um, that's the arc button so what is... what this is gonna do essentially is when you click it, you're gonna be able to, um, sort of, like, take any arc of the circle to make it portion of the circle.	[ "Inform" ]	[ "Explanation" ]
86	06:49.589	00:06:54.139	Coach	So, why don't you try, um, going counterclockwise?	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Direct Instruction" ]
87	00:06:54.720	00:06:58.040	Learner	Um, sorry, just... Okay. Go counterclockwise.	[ "Backchannel" ]	[]
88	00:06:58.040	00:06:59.340	Coach	Uh, click and drag it.	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Direct Instruction" ]
89	00:06:59.760	00:07:01.020	Learner	Oh, okay. Yeah.	[ "Backchannel" ]	[]
90	00:07:03.120	00:07:08.129	Coach	And so I would say, like, when you get to maybe about, like, 50%, it should be good.	[ "Action Directive", "Opinion" ]	[ "Direct Instruction" ]
91	00:07:10.400	00:07:11.370	Learner	50%?	[ "Info Request" ]	[]
92	00:07:11.920	00:07:13.330	Learner	Like a half a circle? Okay.	[ "Info Request", "Backchannel" ]	[]
93	00:07:13.330	00:07:14.060	Coach	Yes.	[ "Answer" ]	[ "Confirmation" ]
94	00:07:14.430	07:18.675	Coach	And then now click it again, and then press enter.	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Direct Instruction" ]
95	07:18.675	07:22.959	Coach	And so this is gonna be our, uh, vector edit mode.	[ "Inform" ]	[ "Explanation" ]
96	07:22.959	07:29.399	Coach	Um, so you see how it's sort of like a, um, like a soft bend rather than, like, something hard.	[ "Info Request" ]	[ "Explanation" ]
97	07:29.399	07:32.382	Coach	Yeah, so you're gonna click the bend Button.	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Direct Instruction" ]
98	07:32.382	00:07:36.200	Coach	And then click the dot right in the center.	[ "Action Directive" ]	[ "Direct Instruction" ]
99	00:07:36.850	00:07:46.589	Coach	Okay. And then, um, when you click it and drag it, you can sort of, like, manipulate it to be whatever, um, way that you want.	[ "Inform", "Action Directive" ]	[ "Explanation", "Direct Instruction" ]
100	00:07:47.170	00:07:48.530	Learner	Oh, yeah.	[ "Backchannel" ]	[]
