Few modeling questions (+ 1 shadow -Eevee Question)

Hello there :wave:


I tried few extrude options but it mostly ends with this

Is there a way to keep the original angles, or do i have to fix it later?

Can someone point me to a mirror tutorial. I wanna mirror this but no idea how.

and now the shadow, i tried doing the stuff that were shown in that Light thread but seems it din’t help with this

If you select the ring of faces you want to extrude. Then press β€œE” to extrude and then enter, followed by alt+s it will scale it from its original shape.

The mirror modifier works the same in 2.8 as it does in 2.7+

Is it possible to contstrain to an axis
I have 10 edges and it seems they keep going down and down, each time i am extruding and when extruding outside, it goes up

Seems like sometimes its all good and sometimes happens what i typed above

When scaling you can press the respective x,y,or z and it will only scale on that axis. Also you can press shift x,y,or z and it will scale along every axis other than the selected x,y,or z axis.

The thing is it does not work, it mostly does what I said, only few time it did it correctly and pressing Y,Z or X after you ALT+S it does nothing at all. If someone don’t believe me, tell me how to turn on the showing of what you pressed and i will get some recording software.

Alt+s is a command by itself, no need to select an axis when using alt+s. Regular scaling can be constrained by just simple β€œs” then push the axis you want to scale on. Shift+axis locks out the axis you want to scale on, for example I want to scale something on the x and y axis and not the z. I would push shift+z and it will now scale only the x and y

seems if I extrude up (Z) and then alt+s it will be okay, then i moved (-Z) and it worked. I really wish i knew why only sometimes it works, I hope i find out why, extruding each time, alt+s and then moving it to the correct place. i mean with simple topology that is not a problem but otherwise its gonna be annoying
