Talk:Blender 3D: Noob to Pro/Properties Window

Under "Editing" I have Links and materials and Mesh, but not Mesh Tools or Mesh Tools 1. Is this correct, or am I missing something?


 * Make sure you're in Edit Mode, not in Object Mode. To enter Edit Mode, select the object you want to edit and press TAB. --Spiderworm 12:06, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Shading
The shading part of this tutorial needs to be updated. :(

resize button-groops windows XP only?
In windows XP I can resize the buttongroops (actually the font-size) by scrolling the mouseweel while holding down controlbutton. I don't know if this is also possible in other OS.

continuety problems
um, it says "you have modeled a person" but we haven't even gotten to making cubes yet!
 * It says "suppose." It's asking you to imagine that you've already done it.

Resizing buttons
I can also resize the button panes by CTRL + SCROLL (using GNOME) --Aids 06:24, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

on my mac it works by holding down ctrl+cmd plus using the scroll wheel. This feature should definitely be documented. By mistake I had them magnified like crazy and I did not find how to make the buttons smaller again.


 * I added zooming to the manipulations section.--Stepheng3 (talk) 14:53, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Images needed
What's needed now, I think, are screenshots and VTT's for the Shading, Object, Editing, and Scene contexts. Some of this material will eventually get moved to a later tutorial.--Stepheng3 (talk) 14:53, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm new to Blender and am going through this guide with 2.57, which is apparently much different in its organization of the Buttons Windows. On some previous pages (like the one describing windows generally), there were screen shots of 2.5--which was useful. This would indeed be useful with this page, but for me the more difficult matter is that it seems that there has been significant changes to what menus appear (Render, Scene, World, Object, Object Constraints, Modifiers, Object Data) their submenus/windows. The things referenced here don't match up with 2.5 very well.

Thanks for putting this guide together, though--it's generally quite hopeful.

Information for those using Blender 2.57
As stolen from a Google result...

Buttons window = Properties window now. (Right side of screen by default) Modifiers = see the spanner icon in this window Link and Materials = see the round (sort of red) material icon in this window Multires = under Add Modifier (Generate --> Multiresolution) Shapes = see the Object Data (triangle icon) in this window

Change URL
Hi guys,

I just updated this page and noticed that the URL didn't change. This might be a little problematic on the Noob to Pro homepage where the page titles are listed according to their URL. Anyone know how to change it? --JamesNZ (discuss • contribs) 09:26, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
