We've seen the basic setup of Paper Space in two- dimensional drawings.

While the setup may seem somewhat confusing at first, the benefits of practice can't be overemphasized. In the two-dimensional world, Paper Space provides convenience when using multiple drawing scales and details. In the three-dimensional world, you'll find Paper Space an essential tool for printing the same object from different angles simultaneously!

Try some of the exercises at the end of this lesson to make yourself more comfortable with Paper Space. Then move on to the next lesson where you'll discover more about how to work in Paper Space.
