Double up a mirror of it now, and delete half of each...? Merge them? Just throwing out ideas.

Hmmm might save as different name and see if that'd work for me...

You can merge imports, can't you? I just remember something from Truespace about that, and adding or subtracting intersections...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes I can merge any two or more 'objects' once they are in the scene... I can import a lot of different types of files (except .max strangely enough)... and any of them once in the scene can be merged together...

I know, Blender does ALL of my file type transfers. That's pretty much all I can do with it. And delete the cube...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't think all of my model transfer work needs an extra cube in there. Especially since I still don't build anything in Blender yet. Except a cube...

You missed my point ... Use the cube - make a model IN Blender
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahem... I've just figured out how to delete it. I'm a long way from using it for anything except a cube.

Grab a dot (vertice) and move it... then grab a different one and move it....

Change to edit mode..

There are modes? No blankin wonder!

LOL - yeah there are... Object Mode, Edit Mode, UV Select Mode, UV Weight Paint Mode, and a couple of more... (I don't use them so I can't remember what they are called.)

I guess I must be in object mode. Because there doesn't seem to be any editing options. How do I switch modes?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
At the bottom of the view area, you'll see "Object Mode" and a little down arrow, click "Object Mode" and you'll get a menu of modes.... select "Edit Mode" - and then the image will change to show the vertices highlighted... you can select a singe vertice by right clicking it, you can select more than one by holding the shift key while right clicking... play with it a bit you'll have that cube all bent out of shape in no time ;D

Got it. I think I can manage that. A messed up cube...

lol... once you mess it up well subdivide it

I hope you realize that I never was much good with modeling clay. I've always done carving. So, I might give a try at pushing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ah ah ha ha... I found it easier to move them side to side ...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Push and turn, push and turn, like you would a carving... Set the "brush" to a low setting. I've played. Poser.

Roman candles were my add-on of choice.

I put those in those in those plastic toy airplanes...

My favorite use of the roman candle was shooting them at monster-type toys. The classic Godzilla scenario.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
never had any of those (monster toys... )

I had several of the Godzilla and friends/enemies. Bottle rockets were perfect for the Green Army Man and parachute.

Yeah, but jet powering a little airplane - and watching blow was always good for a laugh

Ooo! Never thought of that! I'll need to order some stuff...

ha ha ha! The snaptight F16 Model works really good for that!!

Ha! I was thinking something in the styrofoam glider department. Something like that might actually get some lift!

The lightweight plastic model has fixed wings and a nice place to put the bottle rocket - it'll fly just like a jet in whatever direction you aim it and then 'go boom'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's what I'm after!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The 'roman candle' type botte rocket (check for legality in your area before buying) have to be built into the F16 model... but they do the most damage to the model...

Legality? *looks over shoulder* I'm way out in the country. Not legal to sell in the state, but there are ways around. For the 4th, I had a trunk-load of fireworks delivered from... a different state... Six cases total. I've always got fireworks. I'll just have to get some rockets.

oh... here they are for "Agricultural Usage"

Ha! Scaring off deer, eh? I like that. I guess I should plant a garden just so I can shoot off my fireworks! And I forgot, I have a case of model rocket engines! They don't go boom, but some of them have a small parachute eject charge.

oh, now those rockets (depending on size) would be cool for the model planes (ya know the first few flights before the bottle rockets

I have a variety of sizes. From big enough to crash and burn, to barely enough to move it, regardless the size. Rocket engines...

Around here, we have cows as the tourist attraction, and trees in the fall... We can't buy anything that shoots into the air here, from in-state. But if you buy it from somewhere else, you can own it legally... and shoot it off... Go figure.

We have to get a farm bureu license to buy fireworks, and roman candles are the largest of those we can have - can't fire them within city limits of any city (and the area I live is erm ALL city....)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
We have an almost-city about 40 miles away. We live WAY out in the country. From my upstairs window I can see the upstairs of one house, about a quarter mile away. From the ground, I can see the peak of the roof.

I live in an apartment complex. from my windows (any of them) I can just see more buildings that look just like the one I live in..
