If you want your outliner's scene collection a little less cluttered, you can click-drag an object, in this case your empty sphere, and press shift and release over the object you want it parented to, in this case your cabinet. The empty is now parented to the cabinet, and is placed inside the cabinet object in the outliner. This way, you can fold your cabinet in the outliner, and the empties are stowed away inside of it, creating less overview clutter. (remember that you still have to have all the objects selected when duplicating, or the new object will look at the original empties for the hook modifiers). Very nice tutorial, thanks muchly :)

Meh. I made a blender python script that accepts user input, to do the "scale to measurement", but it only works for circle edge loop selections. I was hoping to make it a bit more universal.

One of your 'Quick Favourites' was the 'Bridge' command. Which addon is this from?

To switch from Global axis to Local axis temporarily, you can simply hit the key for the axis twice and do not have to change the orientation in the top menu. So like in the video, when you want to exclude the local Z axis, hit S, then Shift Z Z. Or to scale on the local X axis, hit S X X. In general, double tapping an axis key switches to global axis whenever the transformation orientation is set to something else than Global. If it is on default Global, double tapping the key will switch to Local. Tapping a third time will release the axis locking again as if you used the tool without hitting any axis key.

Thanks for watching this video, I hope you liked it. Let me know in the comments what you think and if you have more tips or tricks on the topic. 😀

After pressing G or any other action, move your mouse a bit like the axis you want to move, then press the middle mouse button to lock it. Is a lot faster, and I can't live without it anymore now.

I have been learning so many little tricks watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you very much, great tutorial 🥰💛 I am an interior designer, and this will be very useful in my daily work 🧡. Do you know how to export 2D views from Blender to a CAD program for create technical documentation with dimensions and annotations for contractors?

the last one 💘

Wow. Amazing work.. how long did this take real time?

Great tutorial!

What could be confusing to people is why you first tell how important it is to always apply the scale, then later when you make the first cabinet example you reduce the X dimension by 38 mm, not applying the scale and then when you are doing the "precisely" 19 mm extrusion on the side faces... it unsurprisingly ends with your cabinet showing an unprecise 598 mm on X (rounded, actually it is more like 597.593... mm).

Great explanations, in particular the Inset tool is something I use very often, especially for things where other tutorials just show a combination of extrude and scale, although insetting could do this much easier and more precise. The only thing I'm missing here is that you could have shown on the icosphere everything you did there would have been possible using the Inset tool, without needing the Extrude or Extrude Along Face Normals, if you would just inset faces by an offset of 0 mm and only giving them depth.

Thank you for watching. If you're wondering about the cylinder in this video - the original section contained a mistake and has now been removed. You can see the correct way of how to resize sections of cylinders and other objects via the scale tool here: ua-cam.com/video/Y8joAbzmGW0/v-deo.htmlsi=e5GxAkhpsPYSRmP-

I am struggling a bit on the cylinder part. This seems to work SOMETIMES... mostly when I'm using millimeters. But when I'm using meters, it just doesn't seem to work. I made my cylinder have a diameter of 5 meters and applied the scale. I add 3 loops cuts, select the middle one, and use Alt+S =(-5)+2 and then it just gives me -3... I understand that adding (-5)+2 does in fact = -3... but why is it not collapsing to 0 if the diameter is already 5m? But when I do something random like a cylinder of 2.36 and do Alt+S =(-2.36)+1.45 then.... I get 1.45 ...I am at a loss as to why whole numbers are like not working

Very good video, thank you. However, I am struggling with more complex questions. I.e. I have an object with a curved side (imagine a curved wall), and then I want to make it thicker by an exact amount (imagine adding a base to the wall (Sockel) with a specific thickness). Or, similar, but still different: I have a complex shape (i.e. a wooden cupboard with some details like cutouts or additions to the edges), and now I want to make the base of this cupboard 1cm wider than the sides on all edges, including the cutouts/additions. I have not yet figured out how to do this in a smart way in Blender. Translated into Blender language, I am basically trying to extrude or scale edges based on their individual normals by a certain amount. The closest thing I found is the "Extrude indiviual faces" in the "Edit Mesh Tools", but the problem there is that the extruded faces are not connected on one side and overlap on the other side when used with complex shapes. Edit: To make it clearer, I just constructed an example, see: freeimage.host/i/dZDlPv2 It is just a cube with some subdivisions, where I extruded every other column of faces, to make the base a complex shape, and then used the "Extrude individual faces" on the bottom row of faces. On the right side how it gets created by "Extrude individual faces", on the left side how I want it (adjusted manually). Another Edit: I found the solution. "Offset edges" in the Edit mesh tools does exactly what I was looking for!

this is REALLY good info. Subbed

thank goodness, that measure it add-on is gonna change the game for me.

1000 thumbs up!

Sascha your videos are the best! Please consider adding a donate link.

Thanks for this comprehensive tutorial on Inset & Extrude tools It is always useful after explanation to give a real scenario examples, AS YOU DID Bro 👍

I started learning Blender since 2.79 and till now i didn't know the outset feature😂 this video is very useful, also I'm a carpenter too using Blender to design my projects and Cutlist Optimizer for creating optimal plywood cut layout

Thanks a lot.This is the best video I've ever seen about Blender.

Big Thank You to everyone who watched the video. Please let me know in the comments if there are any questions or if you have more tips on the topic.

extrude manifold trick to extrude seamless to another is to have snap on verts or edge and and check the merge in overly so that it merges to the edges and dont create overlapping face

thank you so much!! the easiest and clearest explanation i found....really learning with you.

to resize a segment with measure it dimension to it. select the verts and use GG to give it a new dimension or G and middle button

This is the best video on precise measurement I've seen. Thank you!

Wow, I actually needed this tutorial for months. Thank you. 😊

You have just changed the game for me! Thank you for this video

As someone who has had to learn lots of different software for various jobs over the years, from Alias to Catia, these videos are great at navigating yet another "popular" software that recruiters seem to be asking for experience with! Thank You!! on

Brilliant!

This is amazing thank you, so easy to set up and versitle

Simple Functions good explained. Verry helpful for a new Blender user. Hope you get more subscriber for your channel and there will be more videos from you in the future.

Great tutorial! Can you please show how you create technical drawings in Blender (adding Camera Vews together with a border?). Thanks.

Great Idea! Thanks!

👍

The part where you shift select and alt shift select the two edges in order to restore the bevel doesn't seem to be working for me (Mac os)

Great video - thanks!

This is great info, I was so frustrated until I watched this video. Then I had to watch it again to make sure I could absorb all the quality tips. Thanks !

really good tips! can you show how to use precision with inset tools, I can’t get it to precise mm number, it just changes by a “factor”

I've spent a lot of time getting really frustrated with cad addons for blender - you're a blessing, honestly.

I'd like to see a video where you convert a standard three-view mechanical drawing into a 3D object in Blender. Preferably with a couple of angled surfaces and a hole or two.

For a different external environment, you could add a new View Layer, and change the HDRI that's used. You can disable the non-environment light collections for that view layer, so they don't add to the render time for it. In the compositor, you can duplicate the Render Layers node, and pick the different View Layer to get access to the alternate environment lighting.

hi, just a suggestion, do you know Bonsai (ex-BlenderBim) An add-on for beautiful, detailed, and data-rich OpenBIM with Blender ...

Just a little heads up: There is currently a bug in Blender 4.2.1 within the Glare Node in the compositor, where it does not work correctly and damages the colour information of the image on high resolution images/ renders. This applies to GPU-mode only!!! It works fine when the compositor is switched to using the CPU, you can switch it at any time without re-rendering. The bug has been reported and is being looked at. I'll leave this pinned here until it's been resolved in an official release, in case one of you encounters issues with it.

👍

Just watched this and your precision video and learnt a lot from both even after using blender for a lot of years.

Nice vid

Very informative and useful, thanks very much. (PS 4.2 won't work on my 2015 Macbook but OK on my Win10 desktop)
