Samardac Config (The Best for New Users, www.nvil.info)

I just move them to the Trans. button that is The Biggest button in this section.
You think I have to back them?

Aha!
Should you move them back? Hmm. Well I think so because that's where I expected to find them but other people may have a different opinion.

Tutorial, some tips:

The last two videos are excellent, working with F1, F2 and F3 will make modelling a lot easier.

I didn't really understand what the crease modifier button did so the video explains it nicely.

Thanks

That is very powerful being able to weight the creasing differently along edge lengths. Thanks for explaining it !

Andrei

Do you know how to scale all these edges (shown yellow) locally ?

I want to keep the cockpit coaming the same size overall but reduce its thickness or diameter as I have modelled it to big ?

Send me model pleas, can not say something from image.
Some notice why you have so many edges? I mean selected, you can reduce its amount twice, and have the same result. You can have them as much as fuselage have and have good result. Also you can go directly from fuselage instead of creating new object.

Thanks for the offer of assistance. I've since found the answer here
http://voidworld.cmcproductions.co.uk/index.php/topic,2652.msg9542.html#msg9542 and added a button to your interface for it.

Your probably right about reducing the amount of edge loops, I'll see if I can delete a few.

What button?

Andrei

For commands that are not in your interface (2.5) that I think I will frequently use, I add a new button and assign the Nvil Command to it.

I have done that for

• Workplane rotation
• Scale Locally

At some point Istonia probably needs to sit down and try and rationalise the menus to make it easier for users to find commands. Its pretty hard at the moment with lots of menus and sub menus and no real explanation of what those commands in the menus do or control.

kevjon,
Scale locally already here. Shortcut V+MMB.
In config there are all local transformations, shortcut (V), Move(LMB), Scale(MMB) and Rotate(RMB).
You can read about them in Tool tip of big button TRANS.
Looks like I'll make button for this.

In witch situation you use Workplane rotation?

Looks like it is impossible. IStonia spend a lot of time creating tools, so all other suff we have to make by our self. So that is why I made my Config and a lot of tutorials.

PS.
Have you used F8 to find tools?

Ok, cool thanks, I couldn't find it when looking to scale sub object locally. No need to add a button for it. I think you should keep your interface as streamlined as you can an not add buttons unless you need it for your own work.

If there is something specifically that I need related to my own work, it is easy for me to add extra buttons with the customize command.

I did not know about F8, thanks a lot ! 
That will make it easy for me to search for tools and understand what they do.

Your doing a great job turning Nvil into a very productive tool. I'm still trying to memorise all the keyboard shortcuts and which button does what, but once I do I should be able to work without hesitation.

I made tutorial about transforming.
From 6 minute I talk about Local Transformations.
