Use 4.x!!!!! pressing B after the transformation enables you to select the base point for the transformation, just like in cad programs. Also, pressing ctrl while doing the transformation enables the snapping temporarily. And pressing shift, you can select multiple snapping modes at once!
Thanks a lot for the comments! Yeah I'm using Blender 4. And I'm aware of everything you mentioned, I have a full course on Blender on Udemy, also there's an update for Blender 4 there. You can check out the course following the link in the description of the video. Thanks anyway
Great Video!. Another useful tip: You can make basic math operations inside the measure fields for scaling and moving. If you have, for example a cube of 20 cm, you can write in the field of an axis 20 + 35 cm and that side would scale to 55 cm. No external calculator needed.
Blender has had this feature for at least 15 years, it’s awesome! I would have loved to see the face of our host when he learned it in your comment ! 😅
Wow, this is one of the best blender channels on youtube! You should have 100k subscribers! I did buy your course on udemy, and appreciate your work, your tutorials are great!, Thank you! I also really appreciate the TH-cam content in addition to what's in the udemy course!
thank you !!! I would like to add the following, rather than changing the whole theme for seeing the edge length text better , you can simple change that only: in blender 4.0 : Preference > Themes > 3D Viewport > Edge length text > pick you color (I make it white and its wonderfully visible)
Excellent tutorial. I was missing that "absolute grid snap" Now working with construction lines works so well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of Blender. Definitely going to check out your Udemy course. Just bought your Udemy course. Peace out.
These are great top tips indeed. I didn't realize that Blender already has built-in tools that can make precision modeling a thing in vanilla. I would love to use this in conjunction with hard surface modeling while recalling the basics from drafting class back in engineering school (yeah, even back in the 2010s, we did stuff on paper so we can understand how to interpret drawings like old ones). And the new snapping tools for 4.0+ is making this easier. While it doesn't turn Blender into CAD, you can use the knowledge and experience from CAD and engineering to make things with a lot more precision than before.
I've done game modeling in blender for decades, these snapping tools have always been in blender and are crucial tools for any game modeling you will do.
Actually I do not personally use any addons in my workflow. But there is a good built-in addon in Blender called Precision Drawing Tools (PDT). You can simply activate it and use. Find more information here: docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/addons/3d_view/precision_drawing_tools/introduction.html
Thanks for the upload. Absolute grid snap, typing the units into coordinate fields, and the measurement overlays toggles, were new to me. I'm pleased that I've figured out the rest of these tips on my own. In the last example to constrain movement in ZX plane I hit G Shift-Y instead of Z move plus X move. I frequently have trouble deleting tiny measurement tool rulers that I accidentally place and are hard to click.
The course teaches all the essential tools to model anything you can think of. So you can learn the tools and use it for archviz. However, it is not a dedicated archviz course.
i've been in the building trade for 35+ years, and every architect, engineer, draughtsman, roofing carpenter, tiler, plumber and bricklayer i've ever known uses millimetres for everything - it's universally understood by everyone and all drawings and datums are unwaveringly calculated in millimetres - where you get this idea of 2 metres, 5 centimetres, 4 millimetres from is beyond me - it adds an unnecessary layer of confusion and makes me think you've never worn a pair of boots out on a building site, let alone 10 pairs

S, B, LM and nothing happend. Maybe it's need some adddons again?
@@waltage If you're using 4.0 or newer, it should work.

very helpful video! i would like to know how to render the measurements details like a blueprint style.
Great topic that I found very little coverage of. Thank you for sharing.
Need more videos like this
very informative tutorial, thank you so much for your sharing.
Very useful. Thanks so much! How do you select vertices located behind when you are in the orthographic view?
Excellent tutorial. I was missing that "absolute grid snap" Now working with construction lines works so well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of Blender. Definitely going to check out your Udemy course. Just bought your Udemy course. Peace out.
Thank you for your support and kind comment 🙏
Now that a really good informative video, thx
Nice. I want to use Blender for modelling 3D printed objects so this will be very useful.
Literal lifesaver. Thank you very much for sharing.
just what i needed!!! awesome man, thanks!!!

Brilliant tutorial. I learn a lot. Thank you.

Great channel for learning, thanks
CAD Transform 2.x
Add-on
lovely inference & dimensioning features
Very nice, could you add plugins you mentioned, to the description? Thank you.

@@unrealblender I'll give it a try. Thank you!
@@dizzicz See also "CAD Sketcher" addon. I have not personally used it.
Why is not for newbies? It's just simple basics. Exactly for newbies.
Exactly 👍🏻
Excelente video, práctico, claro y muy útil toda la información.
Very good lesson thx!
This is very helpful subject who moved from Sketchup)
Is there any way to eddit the number and make the program change the length?

is you udeny course useful for archviz? or is better to products thx

How can you do this in object mode?
How did you render the thumbnail? I want to make same material for outdoor project, not clay but light gray with clear edges

Perhaps another country
thank you so much sir!
I need the promo code for your course in Udemy

With this I still prefer SketchUp for modeling precise measurements for archi..the simplicity of program make it easier for everybody.
Thanks!
THANK YOU
when i draw my own cubes i cant snap to grid...
Thanks, realy needed This
thanks
I DONT HAVE ABSOLUTE GRID SNAP
I think that *grid* means absolute. I think they changed names. *Incremental* is perhaps the old *grid* without the absolute option.
4:23 One meter divided by ten is ten decimeters, not ten centimeters.
Exactly, thank you for pointing that out. I should have been more careful.
wich... measures 10cm...
1 decimeter = 10 centimeter. And 10 decimeter = 1 meter.
2 x 2 x 2 is 8m²
am i the only one that doesnt have the measurements option?
To be able to activate the measurements option you need to be on edit mode.
hi mechanical engineering people, I see you :)
Without mentioning tinyCAD, this tutorial is incomplete.
Very useful but I suspect the skill required is knowing how to start blender and use a mouse and keyboard
where is absolute transformation? Median and realative transformation still need like a shit
Ahhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhh ….
Thanks
