Blueprint diagram showing side and top views of a roller coaster or marble run track with labeled sections.

1. Draw your page layout first Take a sheet and lightly divide it into: Top half = Side view Bottom half = Top view (map of path) Leave space on the right for labels. 2. Draw the START point (side view) On the top half of your page: Draw a tall vertical line or pillar on the far left Put a dot at the top and label it START This is your highest point. 3. Draw the FIRST DROP From the start: Draw a long smooth curve downward Make it fairly steep at first, then level out slightly at the bottom ❗ Do NOT draw a sharp angle. It should look like a slide, not stairs. 4. Add the FIRST HILL (smaller than start) After the first drop: Draw a hill shape (like a smooth “∩”) Make it about ¾ the height of the start Label it Hill 1 5. Add the SECOND HILL (even smaller) Next: Draw another smooth hill Make it about ½ the height of the start Label it Hill 2 6. Add FINAL DROP into finish After Hill 2: Draw a gentle slope downward End it flat or slightly rising into a box/cup Label FINISH 7. Now draw the TOP VIEW (below side view) On the bottom half of your page: Step-by-step path: Draw a straight line down (start) Curve right in a wide arc Straight section Curve left Final straight line to finish Keep all turns wide and smooth 8. Add arrows (important) Go back and add arrows: Show marble moving direction One arrow per section is enough 9. Label everything clearly Write next to your drawing: Start (highest point) Hill 1 Hill 2 Finish Direction arrows 10. Final check before building Make sure your Mehr sehen
