3D Cursor placement

Hi everyone, I am starting to learn blender and going through a YouTube tutorial of building a coffee cup. While blending, I faced a problem that when I select a bunch of vertices using the B hotkey and left mouse button, the 3-D cursor doesn’t automatically move to the center of the selection as it used to in the beginning. I have to repeatedly use Shift + S command and select “Cursor to Selected”. Is there any way I could get the settings to make the cursor automatically go the center of selected items as it was before?

The 3d cursor never moves unless you tell it to move so you must have been mistaken.

The manipulatoris what you may be talking about. You may have change the pivot point from the default ‘Median Point’

Thanks a lot, I was actually mistaken. Still learning. :slight_smile: It was a big help.

great videos … thanks.
