Home renovation: Fixing Cracks in Drywall

#4 of #DEXR100 is about repairing drywall cracks or holes for a smooth wall finish.

Use the embedded 3D viewer below to try it out yourself.

Description

Apply the correct materials and methods to repair a standard wall crack or small hole.

Learning Goals

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

  • Identify the type of damage in drywall

  • Select the correct tools and filler

  • Apply filler correctly and finish with sanding

  • Understand drying and painting times

 

How to use in the classroom

  • This lesson works well as a practical introduction to drywall procedures
  • It is designed for applied, hands-on learning.
  • The intended age range is middle school to adult learners.

How it's made - behind the scenes

We began by converting a 360 panorama picture to an environment of a construction site for better immersion. We also adapted one of our characters with the necessary PPE & created a drywall 3D model. Then we decorated the scene with library assets.The platform includes an extensive collection of 3D models that you can use directly. With our Blender add-on, you can also push assets into the Dexr platform and iterate quickly, with instant updates enabled through real-time libraries and asset streaming. Next we added the desired plants specifically for this lesson.

Inside the web-based, no-code editor, we built the lesson flow with Events & Actions (for example guiding the learner to pick the right tool, highlighting safety steps, and triggering animations). We layered in TTS narration from a 3D guide, added push guidance panels for clarity, and embedded quick knowledge checks at each stage. Like all Dexr lessons, it runs fully in the browser with no installs required, making it classroom-ready and easy to track learner progress through our LEAP learning framework.
