Hi guys, I’m not sure what the left menu is called but it’s on the left side of the screen and has a little plus button to be opened. It has submenus like tools, create, shading / UVs, etc. Is there a hotkey or can one be set to open/close this menu and what’s it called?
On the 3d view header use the ‘View / Tool Shelf’ menu option or shortcut T
Thank you. How about the bottom animation menu with the little film frame thing?
If you mean the timeline then you need to understand how the interface works. Start reading from https://www.blender.org/manual/interface/window_system/introduction.html onwards
