Exhibits 1-4 & Me Trying to Learn

So I went through exhibits 1-4 again to try and get used to the program. Since I have no prior knowledge (or have even heard) of this program, I took notes from the exhibits as I went through it to have as a reference.

Exhibit 1: Option key and dragging lets you move plane/interface.

-Upper right hand corner shows different sides. Home button.

-F key zooms in.

-Space bar = 4 view (tapping space bar w/ mouse over that window will bring that view up).

Exhibit 2: Left side toolbar -> transforming tools.

-Move tool -> bottom left shows axes. May move along an axis.

-Rotate tool.

-Scale tool -> Scales along the different axes.

Exhibit 3: Can make NURBS or Polygon primitives. Polygons have faces and NURBS are made of curves and are smooth.

-Keys 1, 2, & 3 give different views. Smooth, rough, rougher, etc..

-Channels box shows info about position.

-Clicking the word under 'inputs' shows info about the shape.

Exhibit 4: To select component, like polygon face, select part of the polygon and click with the right mouse button. Select 'face.'

-Click on dots or drag over spaces to select them.

-When objects overlap, you select through all of them.

-Hold shift key to add to selection.

-Hold ctrl key to deselect faces.
