Love this! Stuck on one part though (completely noob question here), but how do you get that quick menu where you can select "Separate/Join"? Menu can be seen at at this 0:56 mark. Thanks!

Its a real shame that you don't use software to display which keys you are using, especially at the end of the tutorial when your are splitting and editing the individual cables. I can't tell what you are doing so I can't replicate it :/

@ferretart Жыл бұрын

He's not doing anything too fancy! So all he's just selecting an edge and using the move tool (shortcut G) and then moving them around freely/rotating them. And how he's getting a large area to move around he has proportional editing turned on (should be at the top of your workspace in the centre, it's a little circle symbol) and then just to the right of that symbol there's a drop down menu which I think by default looks like a smooth A or mountain peak, click on that to bring down the options and click "Connected Only". That way you move around anything inside your "sphere" (mouse wheel up and down to increase/decrease the size of said sphere) and it'll only effect the individual tube you're selecting, despite it being part of a larger mesh! Okay LOOKS like a lot of info but I swear it's v straightforward haha. Just turn on Proportional editing> Connected only> G to move/S to scale/R to rotate.

in the top left is a small group of buttons, those are the select modes, it has 3 modes, Vertices, faces, and edges, they should have little decals on them so you'll be able to tell (note the buttons are right under File, Edit, window etc tabs)

Cick on proportional editing at the top and select 'connected only' use rotate and move, scroll to increase radius of effect, if it doesnt work it may because the circle starts at about 1m radius and you need to adjust it to fir the scale your using :)

Applying all transforms while it was still a curve worked for me. You just have to be in object mode for the option to pop up. Thought I'd mention this as I was working with curves rather than with an object that you convert to a curve. Thanks for commenting this btw! I was very confused.

I know its been two years but it might be because while in edit mode, you are in either edge or face select. you have to make sure youre in vertex select before you extrude since you just got rid of all the edges and faces in the first step
