I am new to Blender and would like some advice on the best way to learn how to use it properly. Here are some things I would like to learn: Best way to draw basic items lines/shapes Best way to create animations How to draw buildings and floor plans In the past, I have used SketchUp for drawing a…

Well, I just tried the same thing on a cylinder and a cone, and it does not work there. On the cylinder, it changed the entire cylinder. On the cone, I could not apply the loop tool and so it did not work there either. I also could not divide a plane. I even tried the knife tool. How do you do this…

[image] Ntxdave: Don’t give up on me…I WILL get there. I don’t think anybody doubts that. [image] Ntxdave: How do you do this with things other than a cube. I think we are all just trying to help make this whole learning process a bit less painful and a bit more efficient. It’s a real…

Yes, I do try to look up tutorials. I will keep looking things up. I am determined to learn how to do some of this stuff. I do also appreciate the responses and patience from all of you responders. I want to learn how to use this tool.

[image] MartinZ: Anyway… You don’t need it. You can select an object, add boolean modifier and then select the other object: I am obviously doing something wrong. I tried to do exactly what you did in your video. but it is not working for me. Is this using the Bool Tool add-on? I really would…

The objects need to overlap. It seems you added a few boolean modifiers already. It seems the modifier visible in your screenshot is set up correctly.

OK, I am making some progress. I watched a video and am now able to modify an object, however, one of the things that is happening is that I have to hide the object that is being used as the modifier. I have not figured out how to delete the modifier object. I did this with a very simple situation.…

[arrow] You can apply modifiers in this little arrow menu or with the CTRL+A shortcut. Then, the effect will be permanent and you can remove the other object.
