      I have to admit to being spoiled by the Extrusion tools plugin for a lot of my non architectural modeling which is not easily transferable to other software.
      A royal pain in the throne.

          The problem is a lack of flexibility to change. Not giving up.

              Ta but, I do not do videos, not been able to get on with any of those I have tried so, I get books I can have next to me while I try to learn whatever it is I am trying to learn.

              I know, inflexible.

                Speaking of Blender videos or tutorials, Some of them talk a mile a minute.

                  I find that folk in video tutorials wave the cursor all over the screen while changing topic left and right, leaving me wondering what language they call home.
                  I do like my linear progression and a little rehearsal to stay on script.
                  Not seen it yert.

                    @Mike-Amos Mike, you’re not inflexible. We’re both from the generation that did all our learning from books. I have a hard time trying to learn from videos also. Although I have a number of books on learning Blender. I’m hesitant to recommend any by name as they’re for older versions of Blender. My top recommendation is make sure any books you might get are for the version of Blender you have installed.

                        @L-i-am Let’s just say I’ve stuck some toes in the Blender water. Sort of hit a mental wall with my modeling last year. Had to step away for a while. Trying to get back into the swing of things including diving back into Blender.

                          Did you try B4 or full blender?

                            @L-i-am Not really sure what B4 is…. I’m using Blender 2.79 due to my ancient iMac.

                              I think he is talking about Blender 4 Artists which has a slightly different take on the interface, simplified basically.

                                Hey Tuna B4 is what all the cool kids call Bforartists😉 😉 😉 But anyway the thread has been of value to you as you now know something exists a little easier to learn than full blender. I think I will go with Bforartists 👍

                                  I must not be one of the cool kids…. Suppose I’ll just muddle along with the full version already sitting on the iMac. 😬
