I’m working on Blenderguru’s Tutorial about how to model a hand grenade and I’m kinda stuck. Price said, that when you hit Alt + S the faces will be shrunk relative to their individual mid-point. However when I hit Alt and S (Blender 2.6 from the official Blender website) nothing happens. Is their anything new about that or just a Bug to report?
Use the “Shrink/Flatten” button from the mesh-tools in the left side-window of the 3D-View. Thats the same like the hotkey Alt+s - maybe you have mangeled you hotkey-settings, either from windowmanager/os or inside blender in the user-preferences.
