00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,960
So to duplicate an object, you would select it, go up to object pull down here, and go
2
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,540
to duplicate objects or shift D, which that's what I'm going to use.
3
00:00:11,540 --> 00:00:15,800
So shift D, you can see it's has the duplicate here.
4
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,320
It's asking you where to move it.
5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:26,240
And so like before you can type an axis and then the distance return.
6
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:33,760
So before we were using the 3D cursor to locate a kind of a temporary origin to rotate something,
7
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,640
but you can also use that to move an object too.
8
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:42,239
So again, I'm holding the shift and right mouse button.
9
00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:50,120
And let's say you want to move that object on top of the other cube and you type G then.
10
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:55,280
Oh, it's not snapping correctly.
11
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,680
We want to change this to center instead.
12
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,720
We want to have this be 3D cursor and then this be center.
13
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:11,960
So we want to set our 3D cursor and then type G and there it snaps to where we want it to.
14
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:23,160
You can also use a method that's familiar to a lot of people that use CAD or Revit where
15
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:29,759
you set the snap point or the base point, kind of similar to what we just did,
16
00:01:29,759 --> 00:01:31,800
but it's just another method.
17
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:37,960
So you type in G and it starts moving and then followed by B.
18
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:45,120
And then it asks you basically where do you want that base point to be?
19
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,320
And you can click on it and then you can move it.
20
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:55,399
So that's a workflow that's a lot of CAD users will be familiar with.
21
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:04,800
Another useful technique is to use both the 3D cursor and the B key to rotate an object
22
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,440
relative to another.
23
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:14,079
So for instance, I could place my 3D cursor here and start rotating type R and then B.
24
00:02:14,079 --> 00:02:16,240
And then it's asking you for that base point.
25
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:17,760
So pick there.
26
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:25,280
And now we type Z to lock it in the Z rotation and then we can then snap to that other cube.
