If you want to document Blender 2.5 features please edit pages under Doc:2.5/Manual.
If a "2.5" page doesn't exist please copy the text from 2.4x Manual and edit the new page (i.e. you should paste the wikitext from this 2.4x page to this new 2.5x page and then update the latter with 2.5 features)
[edit] Introduction
There are many things you can do with the selected object within your virtual world. You can twist it, make it bigger or smaller, spin it around, change its shape, and so on. This section tells you how to do these things to your objects.
As you will find with most of Blender, there isn’t just “one way” to do things. For infrequent users, there is always the context-sensitive menus. For more experienced users, there are hotkeys, where merely tapping a key performs an action.
[edit] Menu Options
With an object selected in a 3D view, the menu bar shows the View, Select and Object options. Click the Object one to manipulate the object. The menu that pops up has the option Transform. Hovering over Transform pops up a sub-menu, showing you selections (and hot keys on the right) for manipulating the object:
- Grab/Move
- Rotate
- Scale
- Convert To Sphere
- Shear
- Warp
- Push/Pull
Since there are also hotkeys to do these things, please read on to the next section.
