“Modular Carousel In this lesson we'll figure out the measurements for our modules. We'll try to do this... This is a module from a six-page carousel. What we'll do is try to make a floorplan of this one to get the necessary measurements to create our pieces. First we'll trace a line to get an angle of 60 degrees. Why 60? Because the carousel is a circle, which is 360 degrees, and we want to split that into six modules. And that math gives us 60 degrees. We'll calculate an angle of 60 degrees.
