A couple of shortcut problens in version 2.41

Hello Everyone,

I am new to blender and while trying to follow a video tutorial about subdivision surfaces, I am having trouble with a couple of shortcuts.

The first one is shift-0. I choose a point of view in a perspective 3D viewport and according to the tutorial (versión 2.34) when pressing shift-0 the camera adopts that point of view. I try with my 2.41 version but nothing happens.

Second shortcut is Alt-B. According to the tutorial and to the HotKey and Mouseaction Reference in my own copy of blender, this shortcut allows you for the selection of face loops. When I do it all I get is the traditional box mode selection activated with a plain B.

Am I doing something wrong? Have these shortcuts been removed or renamed ?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Welcome to elysiun!:smiley:

For snapping your camera to the current 3-D view, use ctrl + alt + numpad 0.

For selecting edgeloops, try shift + alt + right mouse button. (This doesn’t seem to work 100% correctly, so you might need to click on additional verts in the loop to get them, but it does work on more simple edgeloops.)

Hope this helps.:slight_smile:

Hi DwarvenFury,

Everything worked as you said. Thank you very much for your lightspeed answer! ¿Is there any place where I can get an updated list of shortcuts for version 2.41?

All the best & thanks again

There is a Hotkey reference in the Help menu. It even has a basic search function.

Thank you very much. Alt-B not working as expected made me doubt of the update status of that help. Now I see its ok.
Thanks.
