Transform Tools¶
Transform Type-In¶
F12 puts the cursor into the X / Y / Z fields: absolute or offset values for Move, Rotate and Scale, for objects and sub-objects.
Pivot¶
Affect Pivot Only (Insert), Center to Object, Align to World, Reset XForm (Blender’s Apply > All Transforms): in the quad menu, Object > Transform and the Utilities tab.
Utilities tab¶
- Align
Pick a target in the viewport; align minimum, center, pivot or maximum per axis, the orientation and the scale. Pivot only moves the pivot instead of the object.
- Array
1D, 2D or 3D; incremental or total move, rotate and scale; copies, instances or references.
- Spacing Tool
Objects along the active curve, by count or spacing, with Follow.
- Object Paint
Paints copies of objects onto the grid, a surface or the selection, with spacing, scatter, rotation and scale.
Clone¶
Ctrl+V or Shift+drag (also on a gizmo arrow or plane): Copy, Instance or Reference, and the number of copies. Instances and references share the mesh and the original’s modifier stack.
