Transforming the object

In Blender, transforming an object changes the size, direction, or location of a thing without changing its shape. There are three basic transformation commands that are used frequently: Grab and Move, Rotate, and Scale.

To transform an object, be sure the object is selected, and then, from the 3D View menu:

  • Select Object | Transform | Grab/Move or press G on the keyboard to move the object
  • Select Object | Transform | Scale or press S on the keyboard to scale the object
  • Select Object | Transform | Rotate or press R on the keyboard to rotate the object

Then, move the mouse or use the arrow keys to transform the object. When the transformation has been accomplished, press Enter or the select mouse button to end the operation, or the transformation can be cancelled by pressing the not-select mouse button or the Esc key. The following diagram shows these object transformations:

Transformations can also be undone after they're completed by pressing Ctrl + Z.

Note

Transform the Monkey added to the scene by moving, rotating, and scaling it. Get a feel for how these commands work. Then, try to move the Monkey to a specific place in the scene. When you think you have it, change your view to see whether it's really where you think it is.
