We're going backwards and finding the green. Move the mouse in the direction you want to head and find the green axis. We almost always need to click and release or click and lift up your finger because it allows for us to use other tools at the same time. Let's click an end point on the front of the refrigerator. Zoom in using your scroll wheel, scrolling up, and click an end point on the refrigerator. We know we are in the move command because our cursor now looks like the move icon, just with black arrows.
You can do that with the shortcut M or by clicking the icon here that has four red arrows going up, down, left, and right. With the object selected, activate the move tool. Together, let's move the refrigerator first on the green or y-axis. I can try just moving it over to the kitchen, but it will take a lot of extra steps to place it exactly right. Why should we lock in an axis and use additional inferences? If I try to move this refrigerator along an axis, it easily comes off either the green or the red. We will use inferences such as axis colors, end points, and screen tips to move the refrigerator to its rightful position in the kitchen. Locking in the axes, whether the red X, green Y, or blue Z, easily and precisely places objects in your model. Length specify a scale length by typing a number, a unit type, and Enter ie.- When moving objects, it's important to lock in the axis to avoid accuracy issues. Shift hold down to scale uniformly (don’t distort)Īmount specify a scale factor by typing a number and Enter ie. Scale (S) Ctrl hold down to scale about center Slope specify an angle as a slope by typing a rise, a colon (:), a run, and Enter ie.
90,20Īngle specify an angle by typing a number and Enter Rotated Rectangle Shift lock in current direction/planeĪlt lock drawing plane for first edge (after first click)ĭimensions, Angle click to place first two corners, then type width, angle and Enter ie. Rectangle (R) Ctrl start drawing from centerĭimensions specify dimensions by typing length, width and Enter ie. Push/Pull (P) Ctrl push/pull a copy of the face (leaving the original face in place)ĭouble-Click apply last push/pull amount to this faceĭistance specify a push/pull amount by typing a number and Enter Shift replace material – paint all matching faces in the modelĬtrl+Shift replace material on object - paint all matching faces on the same object Paint Bucket (B) Ctrl fill material – paint all matching adjacent faces Orbit (O) Ctrl hold down to disable “gravity-weighted” orbiting Internal Copy Array n copies in between: move first copy, type a number, the / key, and Enterĭistance specify an offset distance by typing a number and Enter Shift hold down to lock in current inference directionĪlt auto-fold (allow move even if it means adding extra edges and faces)ĭistance specify move distance by typing a number and EnterĮxternal Copy Array n copies in a row: move first copy, type a number, the X key, and Enter Look Around Eye Height specify eye height by typing a number and Enter Length specify length by typing a number and Enter Line (L) Shift lock in current inference directionĪrrows lock direction up = blue, right = red, left = green, and down = parallel/perpendicular Radius specify radius by typing a number and EnterĮraser (E) Ctrl soften/smooth (use on edges to make adjacent faces appear curved)įollow Me Alt use face perimeter as extrusion pathĮxpert Tip! first Select path, then choose the Follow Me tool, then click on the face to extrude Segments specify number of segments by typing a number, the S key, and Enter Radius specify radius by typing a number, the R key, and Enter Here is my Keyboard Shortcut List: (starting with the bottom key row, left to right.) Z= MoveĢ Point Arc (A) Bulge specify bulge amount by typing a number and Enter This arrangement also sharply reduces having to look at the keyboard as the keystrokes can be accomplished by touch alone. Using a three-button mouse for all camera movements allows me to design with almost no cursor trips to the toolbar for normal work. I have finally accomplished re-assigning my Keyboard Shortcuts so that almost all my most used commands are within a finger’s reach of my left hand resting at the corner of my keyboard.
