Subdivide Multi in 2.5
This is good, but it doesn't explain how to access Subdivide Multi in Blender 2.5 or even if the tool is still available. I was able after some time to figure out a work around but it was ugly. Either by hitting subdivide 4 times and getting 16 faces instead of 10 or subdividing once moving the new vertices up near the top of the wall and then using the Loop cut and slide tool several times to mimic subdivide multi.

Cuts = 9
Though I was able to follow along fine and figure out why "Cuts = 9" worked to give me a 10x10 grid, I think an explanation (for example, why 9 and not 10) would be helpful here.142.166.64.63 (discuss) 15:10, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

A problem selecting faces.
I've found an annoying problem in Blender 2.58.1 selecting faces using face select mode: when View Mode is User Perspective, clicling RMB near any face causes the selection of some other adjacent or opposite face. This does not occur when in User Ortho mode. Did any other user experienced same problem?

Did you turn "Occlude Background Geometry" off? --JamesNZ (discuss • contribs) 04:44, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Pivot point and origin are two distinct things (alt least in 2.59)
In "Scaling with a pivot" (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro/Improving_Your_House) we are told to use Ctrl+Shift+Alt+C -> Origin to 3D Cursor or "Choose the 3D cursor icon in the pivot menu" to move the origin. The former ist correct, the latter not. Instaed you have to use Object Menu -> Transform -> Origin to 3D Cursor.

"Extruding edges": Overhang translation
The last image for the subsection "Extruding edges" doesn't match the instructions. It says to use the manipulator to change the angle on the overhang, but in the image the overhang is on the same plane as the roof. The image at the top of the page also has a perfectly smooth roof. Is this a 2.4x/2.5x problem? When I perform step B5 in Blender 2.5x, the overhang is automatically aligned to the roof, matching the image. Serpinium (discuss • contribs) 21:00, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

Okay, there's an error in step A5. If I set the pivot point to the 3D cursor, it automatically creates the slope, rendering step B7 unnecessary. Should I delete that step now? Or instead change the origin to the median point in A5 so that B7 becomes relevant again? Serpinium (discuss • contribs) 06:42, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
