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.

12:15 I have watched the video over and over again for thickening the walls of the treasure chest, but no matter what direction I move the mouse, the walls always go out leaving the chopped out corner on each corner.  When I hit the G key after the E key - it is as if I now have two boxes that separate from each other.  I am doing something very wrong.

Hi when I do the F2 - Face creation in the same perspective and cursor position as show it creates a face with the point on the opposite end of the lid and not the points above, did I miss a setting somewhere?

Hey All,

I've been having some issues in the editing mode of accessing the vertices, edges and faces hotkey, as is in blender 2.79. I have re-downloaded blender 2.8, as I was using an earlier version. But, I keep coming across the same issue where it turns from orthographic, to front, to side, etc.

I also have "emulate numbepad option", as I prefer not to have a numberpad for my keyboards. Am I doing something wrong? Or is it possibly a bug in blender 2.8 (release candidate 3)?

There is a video that shows the problem. Regardless of whether or not I try snapping to the Active Element or the 3D Cursor, I can't get my scaled selection to snap to a vertex point even though I have the snapping element set to Vertex. I am sure there is something I am not doing right, but I can't figure out why Kent is getting it to work.
