Blender 101

I’m currently working on a project in Blender 3.5 and I’ve run into a bit of a roadblock. I need to modify the location of a specific vertex in my mesh, but I’m not quite sure how to do it.

I’ve tried selecting the vertex and then using the grab tool to move it around, but that seems to move the entire mesh rather than just the one vertex. I’ve also tried going into edit mode and using the transform tool, but that doesn’t seem to allow me to select a single vertex either.

Does anyone know the proper way to select and move a specific vertex in Blender 3.5? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Guys I figured it out just press N while in edit mode and a small window pops up and shows you the location. Cheers.

Hi and welcome to the forums…
You should watch the Blender foundations Noob tutorials.
In Blender Help > Tutorials. It is videos about Blender 2.8 - but the 101’s are still the same
And read the Help > Manual. Not all of it - you are not ready yet for all of it. The first few chapters.
A day or 2 spent studying some tutorials is equal to skipping months stumbling around guessing and making errors that you dont know how to fix.

Happy Blending.

Select the vertex and press G

Most likely you have accidentally switched on Proportional Editing using the “O” shortcut. It’s the last 2 icons in the header in below image (left one for disabling/enabling it, right one for the different type of falloffs you can use) If it’s on, disable it and see what that does.

I have literally marked the topic as solved and I am sitll getting responses.

I think in this case, you’re getting responses because there’s many options here, and it may be helpful to your workflow to explore them, but you don’t have to :slight_smile:
