  1. Save selections components( points, edges, polygons) and add or remove current selections from saved?

  1. Rotating around 3D cursor: properties panel (N) -> view -> lock to cursor. I’ve never used it, I have rotate around selection option enabled.
  2. Can’t sort but you can view by the same type as selected
  3. Vertex groups.

  1. Hm, shift+i, h
  2. No, you can set “Rotate around selction” in User Preferences > Interface
  3. ?
  4. You cant, first esc, may a feature request. :slight_smile:
  5. You can setup a new screen layout, beside help menu.
  6. ^
  7. dunno
  8. No
  9. Depends on object
    If you copy objects/lamps with “Alt+d” there are linked and switch cone change all objects.
    With some settings the last selected object with shift change all others. But i don´t need this often.

Cheers, mib.
EDIT: me should not chat at #blendercoders during writing BA posts :slight_smile:

  1. How to freeze geometry after duplication on mesh?
  2. How to assign 2 commands in one button like press-on, next press-off? (view3d.display_wire_on/view3d.display_wire_off)
13
  1. How get orientation for location from reference, for example from face another object or normal orientation in edit mode from face?
14
  1. Not directly (as stated by others) BUT…

You can place the cursor wherever, add an empty (which will appear at the cursor) and (which the empty is selected) hit the numpad-. (period) to centre the view on it. Any time you need to rotate around a different spot, move the empty and centre on it again. A bit of a work-around, but it’ll do the job with a minimum amount of extra work.

  1. Why Different menu delete in edit mode with blender\maya input hotkey preset. maya have not delete edge loop in menu by X(delete)?
    How i can get back delete edge loop in menu?
16

In the User preferences / Input change the delete command to that used for blender default
In the 3D View / Mesh section for the X keyboard shortcut change from Delete to wm.call_menU
Then change the Name to VIEW3D_MT_edit_mesh_delete
This will then bring up the full delete options
You can change the keyboard layout settings in this window to directly compare the difference

Thanks!
20. How I can hide obect but visible in render Cycles?

18

In the outliner window deselect the eye icon to the right of the object (or hide your object with H). This will turn off its visibility. As long as the camera icon is enabled it will still render Note that this will make your object renderable after pressing F12 to render your scene but since you have hidden your object it won’t render when you set the viewport to rendered view.

19

Deselect the eye icon make object invisible in reflections.

    22.1 DIfferent functions with LMB and MMB with press. LMB with press working with hold LMB and deactivate by release LMB
