I am trying to learn how to do some basic modeling, but in the tutorials that I have looked at, they must have a diferent setting applied or a diferent version than I do. Because when I try to select a face or anything else, my mouse just draws a squiggly grey line wherev er I drag it…I need to know how I can select stuff…
And one mroe thing, I need to know how to add another shape, like say I have a sphere, what if I want to make another shape, other than duplicating it how can I do this?
Start with this manual instead of specific tutorials: Blender Basics.
Selecting is done with the right mouse button, or if you have a Mac mouse use Option-click. Hit the space bar to see how to add objects. Pay attention to whether you’re in Edit or Object mode when you do this.
