General Discussion / Re: New user where to begin?

« Last post by Noobnvil on December 14, 2024, 11:19:10 pm »

Hello.
2 modeling question...I am practicing trying to model the attached gravity racer.
1.What would be the best method to model from an exact shape from an dxf 2d shape? attached.
...how would one, if possible extrude that imported shape? if not just try to shape the primitives as closely as possible?
2.Is there a fast way to increase the polygons of a model?

Thank you!

The title is a bit misleading. To activate a tool, you need to click a button/menu or press down a hotkey.
Hotkey was used in the video. Hotkey was not displayed out in the video.

What do you mean by saying "with mouse only" ? Do you mean without using the keyboard?

Slowly getting the hang of this...
Question on Nvil steam site the second video https://store.steampowered.com/app/592350/Nvil/

Are there any instructions (probably the streamline tools) to do most thing with mouse only exactly like the one in the video?

1. Edit > Repeat Last Command. Not every command is repeatable. The repeatable last command name is display at bottom-left of the viewport.

2. Geometry Aligning Trick, https://youtu.be/9BPBI3XD2KU

Thank you for the videos
exactly what I needed.

few more things...before practice some more this week...
1.How would I recall a fuction that I previously used? let say I used the cut function then hit escape to get out but I need to use it again? In Moi you hit the right mouse button it will recall the last used command.

2.If I rotate a complete face of an item...and then move a few points/edges.
How do I align them all back to match the angled face?

Tnx!

Is there any example how the spline offset tool works?

Create Offset Spline

Attached pic,,,when I delete something how can I make the remaining blue line behave or vonvert it back to normal edges? when I move the blue lines it is not joined ..to the other edges.

Not sure what's your intention.

Check this video. It shows some simple tools for geometry create/edit. You can use those tools to create a rough geometry of your intended result so we can understand what you were trying to do.
