Guys I have a few questions bout blender 2.5.

  1. Is it possible to bevel only specified edges in an object, the bevel operator bevels everything and I need just a bunch of edges.

  2. Is it possible to move a group of polys towards their individual normals and if yes how?

  3. How do you add splits to collapsed edges (ex. tube caps) ctrl+r doesn’t work in that case.

  4. Is there some kind of inset polys command?

  5. Is there a way to multi select objects from the outliner?

  6. Is there a way to mass rename a group of objects?

Hi, I’ll try my best concerning your questions:

  1. I don’t think this is working yet.
  2. Yes, select the polys and use SHIFT+E then move the mouse and hit ENTER.
  3. Tube caps? Do it by hand, select edge and edge, press F to make a face.
  4. Extrusions will do that fine.
  5. Yes, use SHIFT and be carefull clicking the objects because the Outliner is sensible.
  6. Not that I know of. A utility to do that would definitely be awesome.

Hope that helped.
