The "Duh!" thread (aka the Doh! thread)
-
I found out today that the rotate tool does the same thing that the move tool does when you hit the Ctrl key. It puts a plus sign next to the cursor and copies the rotated object, leaving the original in place.
Not that I have an immediate use for this -- I just hit it by accident, and there it was...

also a "d'uh" moment from long ago: holding OPTION when moving an object, push/pulling an object, or rotating an object, to duplicate it.
note: these are for mac. Buttons might be different on windows.
I've had plenty of uses for it, my current WIP is 4-way symmetrical, and that makes it easier to place everything in the same place in all directions.

Try it for Polar Arrays . . .it's loads of fun! But. . .Im sure you knew that!

A new "D'uh" for me: holding shift while using the smoove tool: smooves from normals.

Damn!! This has to be the most useful 'Duh!' in the thread - is this documented anywhere?!

You can sculpt in a direction other than vertical by holding down
the Shift key while moving the mouse. However, this operation can result in a
non-functional terrain or terrain that can no longer be manipulated in a known
way. This operation can only be performed while in active selection (not after
preselection). -
False Duhduh!
Oh! 
A manual is existing? PS You don't need especially a manual : Just Look at the line help Page Bottom!
It's Write...
Line help is an another false Duhduh!

Mine didn't say that.

[/quote]Being able to put in "s5" in the VCB to control the number of sides before I create a circle or arc... Big Duh![/quote]
It does not work for me. As soon I type s it triggers scale tool. Btw If you call arc or circle vcb gives you option to type in number of segments. -
try 5s.
-
But what is the point as vcb gives you option for number of sides as soon as you select arc or circle.
-
I dunno, I use the model info options to alter my segments anyway.

Duh... I've never noticed you can collapse that Entity info box (mine is always expanded). Well, still better than the other way around.

My Duhduh of the day!
No exactly for SU but
As make a "snapshot" of a video is impossible
You can Save "as an image" when you make pause inside the viewer!
So I have need this today for this crazy teaser of Fredo6 and his new Bend Function!
(click image if scrallbars) -
Pause inside the viewer? What viewer?
-
Pause is normally existing in any viewer
Windows, Mpc, Quick Time etc...
But the crazy thing is I had never thought to use it before today with the "Print Screen" key
Because when you use the "Print Screen" key during an animation you have nothing as image! -
Depends on the mode you're using. If you're using hardware acceleration in whatever media player you use, you won't be able to make captures by just pressing "print screen". I recommend using the VLC player, it features screen capture and opens most formats.
