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

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.

* The spline offset tool only works in object mode.
* The streamline Cut tool(default key: C) will perform context cut on any presenting vertex/edge/polygon selection when possible on activating event. So be careful when you activate this tool.
* Top-left corner of viewport, click the view type label(Custom/Left/Back/...) to bring up the Viewport context menu. check the "Show Vertices" option.

How does the create offset spline tool works?
I searched the help and forum :/

create offset cannot be activated in current mode.

I was watching the circularize video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndU4ph6uv50
and had to slow it down quite a bit to see what is happening...the letter A in the corner
would be a sample of the streamline tool? how do I setup like that?

I did see a video on how to setup button menu.

another question attach pic...I cannot understand for some reason the edge line splits?
I could not figure out how to join them ..so I switch to point, delete the points so it is one edge again...is this the way...but why is it happening?


Is there a way to see the points in the other views as well?

allot of info to take in...

Tnx
