@ 11:10, in the video tutorial, the hot keys for pressing Y and can we e press P ?

Hi guys, I can't fill some of the faces of the cylinder, no matter what I do. Some work and some don't. I've attached one of the plans that I can't fill. I select the two edges and press the F key and nothing happens. To test this I move on to the next plank and I do the exact same process and it does work. I'm not sure what I'm missing here. Also, if I switch to vertices select in edit mode and I choose 3 vertices, the filling option does work (another example attached) but if I choose the 4 vertices it doesn't.

Snapping to the vertex simply isn't working for me.  I verified my snap settings, and when I hold control and mouse over the vertex I see the orange circle for the vertex I want to snap to, but nothing it's simply not snapping.

I'm really sorry but these vertices just had to be lifted up. I've been waiting for that for the whole clip ;D

At the 24:00 mark when we're scaling the sides of the chest's top so that they no longer intersect with our recently thickened boards, instead of eyeballing the scaling, vertex snapping could have been used, and any one of the vertices around the top could have been used for the scaling.

I'm just learning Blender, but I came from fusion360 where everything is parametric, exact numbers, etc, so if I can make something as perfectly aligned as possible, I'm going to do it. :P

I've followed the tutorial exactly, but I am getting a different result when thickening the chest top after separating the side boards.

Select everything.

Hit E, right click to cancel. Alt S to scale, and I even have my mouse in the same location.

When i check my "shrink/flatten" mine says -0.109, while the video has a positive number, but a positive number for me goes the wrong direction.

Where am I going wrong here?

When I press "Z" , I do not get choices as shown on the tut. Mine just goes directly to wireframe mode as it did in the past. Should I be concerned? I don't mind not having those silly choices that popped up on your screen, but will these differences be an issue down the road?

Sorry for getting all questiony, so early in the stages here, but I'm one of those 2.79 peeps that is now jumped in to the deep end of the pool and am going to get this come hell or high water. So, I have some concerns. It's not life or death - it's just a curiosity.

At 5:08 in the tut

At 3:24 you're going over the new way to toggle between Vertices, Edges, and Faces (oh my?!?) by using the 1,2, and 3 keys. Not happening on my machine. Now, in all fairness I just downloaded the latest version of 2.80. Could that be the issue, or maybe something else?

I did notice that when you went to change your preferences for "space bar" selecting that my preferences didn't have that option. It was already set that way automatically. That's why I'm asking about the version compared to the tut.

Otherwise, I'm very excited to jump into this stuff.

Onward......

ps. I would like very much to use the hot keys for those choices. Currently I'm using [shift]+[tab]. The 1,2, and 3 would be much quicker

Hello. I am having some difficulty in the 2.8 Operator Panel. When I load a new mesh, like a cylinder the operator panel comes up and I can adjust the cylinder's vertices. Once I click on the view port the Operator Panel disappears. If I want to change the cylinder's vertices again, it seems logical that could be done by opening the Operator Panel and adjusting the vertices but, I cannot seem to find a way to open the panel again. I can find all of the other parameters in other panels but not vertices. Please help.

 Am I missing something here? My side planks are clearly thicker than front and back planks.

I've already tried to turn Offset even on and off, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
