Hello Blender artists !
I create this topic to share some Blender tutorials I made : hoping it will help some of you !
These are useful tips for my everyday work, not some exhaustive feature explanations.
As a beginner, you 'll certainly learn some tips and tricks, or quickly retrieve a feature.
As more advanced user, maybe you will learn some new tips, or find the “How to” of a feature you already know.
More videos to come …
Feel free to add some suggestions

Show or hide what you want, invert selection and visibility, with H, Alt+H, shift+H, Numpad /
Create collection and put your objects in it, use instance of this collection.
Manage instances offset, make your instance references another collection, switch several instances at once…
Convert vertex to face, find vertices inside edgeloop, or select similar bevel edges, coplanar faces, or use checker deselect. Plus some Edges properties : Sharp edge, Bevel, UV seam…
Use bevel on curve to create round pipe, use custom section. Create curve from edge loop, curve cleanup :
Joining two objects or more can break some modifiers, textures, or transformations : let’s see how to avoid that:
Assigning material to object, to face. Select faces with a given material, or duplicate material, link material to other object :
Create Vertex Group, and assign selection to it. Use it as Limit Method for Bevel, solve issues that may appear :
Cloth Simulations do not always behave like we would like, so we can help them with Hooks :
Create radial symmetry with Array Modifier :
Move a rigid ring or deform a tube along a cable:
