# Making Models

After you’ve changed the size of the stage to match your theatre space, the next step is to make the motors look roughly like the scenery on the stage.

Each motor in the show can be viewed as either a **winch** or a **turntable**. You may be thinking, we can automate more scenery than just a winch or a turntable so how would I visualize these other machines? You would be correct. However, a **winch** in the model can be modified and visualized as a lift, hoist, curtain, or any machinery that runs in a straight line.

Winches always look like a box traveling along a track. This box is used to resemble your scenic wagon. The length of the track is determined by the Max Forward and Min Reverse input fields (set in the Position section of the Stagehand Properties Panel). The size and placement of the scenery on the track can be adjusted in the Schematic section of the Stagehand Properties Panel. Let’s go over the steps to achieve this.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.creativeconners.com/docs/spikemark/stage-model-viewer/making-models.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
