dude i mean from all proffesionals and from all tutorials you are the fcking best , because you solve the problems that begginers like me have all the time and you are perfect, thanks,
Absolutely fabulous tutorial covering the essentials for a quick start in Blender! So well explained and at a good pace. I have gone through a big pile of stuff and this one does it all in one clip. Highly recommended.
Cool! I did tech drawing like this in high school; 1966. We used mechanical pencils and t-square on drawing paper. Enjoyed it very much. I went on to major in architecture and later in commercial art.
Great tutorial! As somebody who is used to traditional CAD software (AutoDesk Inventor), what this tutorial shows is very similar to how Inventor works. Helpful for somebody coming from CAD!
Great explanations , went and bought his complete training course , don't mind the french accent but he is so soft he puts me to sleep, but it is better than trying find it here and there, great education all in one place. He is bringing me up to speed fast and I can't say enough good things about it.
5:11 The scale I decided to use was .0005 The reason: Even though your modeling was proportional, when you use a unit scale of .001 every 1 unit = 2 units. So when you type in 16 units, it shows up as 32 units (you can see the length by going to Show Overlays > tick the Edge Length option)
Thank you for that video. I am a mechanical designer working with traditional CAD software. I am having a hard transition but this helped let me see so much of what I have been doing wrong. Well Done.
Me too, it seems sensless and time-wasting. If you came from Autodesk, Rhino etc: Start with 2D draw --> Extrude, Draw again -->Extrude. Round the corners, join everything et voilà. Blender has a very different workflow. Maybe this is more "rendering oriented" because meshes are extra clean and without exceeding vertex, lines and isolated points, but.. ok
This is an excellent lesson! Clean and simple! Yet technical and useful! I didn't now i can put a negative sign in the end. How many thousands of times i was founding myself redialing values just because i did realize i need a negative instead of positive and vice versa! Cheers my friend!
I work as a mechanical engineer. I like this a lot. In industry though, we try to whittle down a block with cutouts. It helps you imagine the limitations of tooling and whether or not they can actually reach what needs to be cut. Designs can be awesome, but sometimes they're out of bounds for the tool chuck to reach.
Hi Yoji. For the methods you show us in 12:50-14.00, you can just select the corner edge and then do "dissolve edges". It is easier and faster that way.
Merci bien for the tutorial, it was enlightening. I have been an architect for 25 years, and watching this convoluted way of drawing something so simple at least gives me a direction to go as I begin my Blender journey. I agree with some other comments that clearly Blender will not be replacing Fusion for this sort of thing for professional mechanical product designers. One needs the parametric modeling and tools for producing proper documentation. But for my hobby 3D printing projects, it can work.
Great vid, have seen many blender tuts which aren't as good and short as this one. This covers most of the basic operations you need without using modifiers, exactly what I needed. Many thanks!

How do I deselect those vertices once I have an Emulated Middle Mouse button (laptop)? at 18:12 I got stuck because that
I had the same issue. I played around with it. After pressing "B" for box select, then if you hold Ctrl it will deselect whatever you drag the box around.
I hope so... Been wanting CAD features or at least parametric sketch ability in Blender forever. I think there is some mechanical engineers working on making a variant of Blender that's CAD friendly but I'm not sure how active they are. It's called Blender Mechanical. :)
@@ChrisD__ True. I have used Bool Tool and yet to use Hard ops. Though I was hoping to see dimensional constraints added in when sketching out lines in Blender. I really like the add-ons we got so far but there is a good portion of things I would love to see. :)
@@ChrisD__ Really? Cool! I'll sniff around the net and see what kind of add-ons I can install. Though I might need 2.79 since most add-ons yet support 2.80. :0
12:26 *SHORTCUT* for deleting/dissolve vertices and EDGES= *Ctrl + X* A 4th option is to select the main edge then press *Ctrl + X* and is gone, the face remains
The option at 20:15 doesn't seem to be working for me and I have several verticies that are acting up. Is there another way to bring up this menu if the shortcut doesn't work?
Thank you so much, I'm using Blender 2.76b and the screen is different, but, I'm learning and getting a simialr result to yours. My problem here is in Blender 2.76 is not clear (at least for me) the unit measurements. This is a very good tutorial and if anyone else is using Blender, use the same version used in this video. Thank you.
12:43 best/fastest way I know to do this is to hit 2 then select the line you want to remove then hit X then Dissolve edge. doing that will just dissolve the edge that you dont want and you dont have to fill any faces that way the second fastest way i can think of would be select eh 2 corner vertices then double tap G then so you can slide them along the edge till you get them to the other vertices then select everything then W then Merge vertices then Merge by distance
If you are having trouble with the loop cut 18 minutes in, you hit B to bring up the box select. You use left mouse button to draw the box around the area you want to deselect and then hold shift as you release the left mouse button to deselect.
great tutorial, thanx! i'm stuck at 15:30, no matter how i move d pointer or rotate d object, when i press CTRL+R d loop will NEVER snap into d horizontal one needed - any way to force it? alternatives?
Second option to make bevel (after minute 13) does not work anymore in Blender 2.81 with knife. I have trouble making line between two vertices - this line just disappear after second left click. If I use knife and make random line, not aligned with vertices, then it is okay - line stays and either space bar or enter make cut.
i was watching this tutorial and thinking this voice sounded familiar. then i clicked on your udemy link and realized i had purchased the course you have linked there. I really liked this course and learned a lot from it even though I was using Blender 2.8.
hey Yoji, Thanks for the video. I have a problem @18:00 when using "B" to ignore those faces during loop cut, still, other side faces will be in loop cut and causing trouble, how to do it? is there any other way to avoid using loop cuts in other faces?
That's very informative.. I recently learned Blender while in the engineering school I've learned CAD and I didn't know how to use Blender for accurate CAD.. now I do.. Thanks
At 7:16, during the first loop cut, I have to hit G -> X- > -32 to get the loop cut 16mm away from the far left edge. This is because the part is 96mm long so half is 48mm long and 48mm-32mm = 16mm from the left edge. In the video, the author hit G->X-> 16 and it works for him. It appears I am using absolute coordinates vs the author who is using relative coordinates. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
Figured it out. After you create the loop cut and drag it to the left, you must then left click which will 'set' the new edges. Only then can you G->X-> 16 and have it work in relative coordinates. The interesting thing is, if you wanted to use absolute coordinates, don't left click.
+1 yojigraphics - This is a nice tutorial but clearly reveals how inefficient and time consuming that Blender is when creating precision/technical models as compared to parametric solids modeling CAD programs like Solidworks, Inventor, Autocad, etc. Blender is a wonderful incredibly powerful tool but gotta admit I'm disappointed that Blender creators have completely ignored all of us engineers and machine designers to date who appreciate efficiency, accuracy, and parametric full editability at any and all stages of completion, and even post completion model revisions. Oh well, at least we can import into Blender base geometry from our CAD models.
There are things called "Boolean Modifiers" in Blender that could have handled that much better with a non-destructive approach. You can basically add primitives and use them to extrude or remove shapes. This approach would have been much closer to Solidworks/Catia/Fusion 360/CAD Softwares. Maybe the author didn't know how to use these tools. But in any case I believe you're right, you'd still be a bit slower with Blender and you'd have to care about the amount of faces and to maintain your mesh clean / without artefact if you do it wrong.
@@leplubodeslapin I guess the real problem is the inherent diametrically opposed differences between precise solids-based CAD modeling vs mesh-based artsy-fartsy sculpting - size/precision be damned - approach. Both methods have their own strengths and weaknesses. Gotta admit Blender 2.8 is definitely worth the effort to learn... but what a freakin' learning curve for old farts like me! 😁😄😲😭
@@Jimbo-in-Thailand Yea I know how it feels! I've used Catia for years before trying to learn Blender (for diferent usages, first one for product design and second one for real-time 3D meshes, but still both object oriented) and it's been quite hard to learn a completely different new approach of 3D modeling (solid & mesh being really different) but it's doable don't worry ! Good luck and yea don't drop your favorite CAD software, it definitely have some strenghts against Blender/Maya/3dsMax !
I'm dissapointed by the creators of CAD software that they completely ignored us, who model characters, animals, nature, fluid and fire simulations,.........................
Want to know something... Is there an option to lock the grab direction other than xyz? For example, in rhino , there an option to lock the direction that the cursor is moving.. Just move in a direction .. press tab key.. then the movement is locked to that specific direction and we can type the measurement or snap it to anywhere... Something like that in blender?
Nice tutorial, thank you very much. I did all of this but at the end i have non-manifold vertices at the edges of that 24mm wide semi circle trench thing ^^ What do i do with them?
@@Miguel-kh9pc Yes, i was able to fix it. There is a blender addon called 3d printing toolbox. It has cleanup functions. So i just clicked on a "make manifold" button.
how do you change to orthographic presing 5 does nothing. there is also no apparent button? I I want to start all my designs in mm not just current one how do I set it? Pressing E doesn't activate extrude always. What is the condition? besides being in edit mode face selection and a face selected...
13:36 or you could just select the verticies and choose disolve vertice or disolve edges... also 15:22 bring in a cylinder and use a Boolean modifier to create those cut pieces.
There is tricky point (video, after minute 14), where we should know which point is selected first and last, then Alt+M with 'at last' will work properly. Else it will merge at wrong point.
I am making a three d object and i want to print in two d. I am brand new to blender. The object looks good on the screen but where to I export it to a image file?
Hey, @yogigraphics I love your tutorials and I am trying to follow along so I can learn blender. I am a beginner and I am having trouble with the cltr + R command. For some reason it only creates a 3 point plane instead of a 4 point plane shown in your video. Any pointers on how I can resolve the issue? Thanks a bunch!
If you press z wirh the knif, it cuts through the mesh, so you don't have to do the same thing on the other side. And i would've merged in "edge mode" by sliding the upoer edge down and then merge by distance. Thets much faster
Any chance at changing these features at a later time? For example, that bevel which you turned into a curved feature. Could you make it slightly bigger? Like 1mm ? The other big one for me doing this stuff is that objects have to be related to one another. For example 2 cubes. One cube must be one quarter in size and placed at exactly 1/3 of the total length of the larger. Then at a later date we will want to slightly change the size(by a known value) and offset it by some quantity which is related to the size of other objects. In other words, all things typically are related and calculated from others. Having to hand calculate new ratio's every time will be insane. I see a vanishing point. Like once there are 10 different relationships, you will NOT want to hand DO all that every time. would be nuts.
@@vizionthing This confused me too. So many of these tutorials forget to mention one small detail making it difficult for new users. (Edit: I should point out I was looking for the scale menu in Transform. He did say you had to switch to Object Mode but it was easy to miss.)
Superb tutorial! Waiting for the second part about blueprint look and dimensional lines and arrows. And special thanks for english version :) Greetings from Poland
Parabéns! Você é o máximo! Muito didático e muito prático, gostaria de ver esse arquivo impresso na impressora 3D. Seria legal... Greetings from Brazil
Impossible task! Just made error in dimension, but did not notice until too late. Now trying to change geometry, and deleted some vertices. The problem is that three lines intersect, but without vertices, ti can't make plane, no matter what. And then enabled TinyCAD plugin, and ruined to the end. Now I have no zoom option, it feels like shift is constantly pressed. Something is very wrong with Blender 2.81.
I'm about to shoot my computer soon... Why does it look so easy when you draw your loops with Ctrl R ? When I try it your way (CTRL R , pulling new loop to the edge, G+axis+number ) my loops jump to some random places but not to the exact point I entered ... What am I doing wrong?
At around 7:14 he very quickly explains how he's entering the numeric values to arrive at the ones reflected on the drawing but because he only verbally explains what he's doing (G-X-16) I'm having a very hard time duplicating the process; can anyone help? I do have my units set to mm and in the 3D viewport I am facing in the correct angle lastly I was able to create the base as he went through earlier, I'm also able to create the subdivisions with the ctrl R. I'm on a mac too BTW. I'd really like to get that detail because it's so important to the project. Thanks!
I am a medical and aerospace engineer. I would love to learn blender specifically for modeling engineering parts such as this video. Do you have a course specific to engineering design with blender? have you heard of "mechanical blender"? i use sketchup pro and solidowrks, thanks
blender is totally different software compared to inventor, inventor uses circles etc.. blender has just vertices, remember you cant sculpt etc... in inventor
revit is a whole other thing, but i know what you mean about inventor, this is still too complicated, it would be nice that it could work like sketchup for simple geometry, something like moving and object from a vertice into the middle of a line and rotate it with a reference (not known angle) i still have no idea how to do it in blender while in sketchup that was like the second thing i did when i first tried it out.
Amazingly useful info on a rare topic! I'm a new subscriber now. May I suggest that in future tutorials you try to maintain an even volume as you describe what's going on? Many time your voice dropped down to where I had to raise the volume to 100%, only to be blasted when you returned to normal.
Hi, I'm a new comer to blender and would prefer some CAD like precision atleast when it comes to modeling to exact dimensions. Anything new I should know about or addons as I install Blender 2.8 today?
I'm doing 3d modeling as a hobbyist since a decade and i work in CAD/CAM since 3 years : to be brief, it's 2 different world and parametric modeling is way better for that, i could do that part in Fusion360 which is free in 5 minutes, while i keep everything editable with parametric history. Then export it in .stl or whatever for render in blender Cycles if i want. I mean i appreciate the effort and the tutorial but it's like "how to write a book in photoshop" : well, use Word or Libre Office. If you want to design hard surface only for visualisations, why not blender (and hardops or Fluent or boxcutter), but if you have a blueprint to follow, just use CAD software, make your sketch, constraint them, and here you go.
At 7 mins in the video, it's loop-cut demo, I follow you steps almost, but I can not let loop cut at 16mm, my keys are Ctrl-R then GX+16, what steps i missed ?
you have the right steps, did you left-click to position the loop on the far edge before typing GX16? (which should then grab the selected loop and move it 16mm on x axis). There shouldn't be any other steps needed if you saw the loop cut created when you hit Ctrl+R and then left clicked
Great tutorial mate. I am still learning Blender and having used various 3D programs for some time, I have been wondering how to control, how far I want certain edge loops to go or how high to extrude at a certain height. Thanks as this helps alot, especially if I want specific sizes.
I bought the course on Udummy and it is great. I'm at the video for the chain and I find I understand the process so much more now in just a few days. I highly recommend it.
HELP: whenever I click any option (sometimes after 2 clicks), and I move my mouse, I'm zooming in or out - how can I stop this? I mean I normally just want to zoom in or out with my clickwheel. When I'm moving something around, the last thing I want is to simultaneously zoom in or out. I have to hit escape all the time to stop the zooming

There is tricky point (video, after minute 14), where we should know which point is selected first and last, then Alt+M with 'at last' will work properly. Else it will merge at wrong point.
when i head GX16, it goes back to the center of the block?...is there is missing step ?
I am making a three d object and i want to print in two d. I am brand new to blender. The object looks good on the screen but where to I export it to a image file?
Hey, @yogigraphics I love your tutorials and I am trying to follow along so I can learn blender. I am a beginner and I am having trouble with the cltr + R command. For some reason it only creates a 3 point plane instead of a 4 point plane shown in your video. Any pointers on how I can resolve the issue? Thanks a bunch!
I have a side question.
What is the tool you use to show key press on screen while recording screen cast?
Thanks a lot for this helpful video.
How did you measure degree with bevel ?
If you press z wirh the knif, it cuts through the mesh, so you don't have to do the same thing on the other side. And i would've merged in "edge mode" by sliding the upoer edge down and then merge by distance. Thets much faster
Any chance at changing these features at a later time? For example, that bevel which you turned into a curved feature. Could you make it slightly bigger? Like 1mm ? The other big one for me doing this stuff is that objects have to be related to one another. For example 2 cubes. One cube must be one quarter in size and placed at exactly 1/3 of the total length of the larger. Then at a later date we will want to slightly change the size(by a known value) and offset it by some quantity which is related to the size of other objects. In other words, all things typically are related and calculated from others. Having to hand calculate new ratio's every time will be insane. I see a vanishing point. Like once there are 10 different relationships, you will NOT want to hand DO all that every time. would be nuts.
Thanks for this video! How did you know that the 0.001 would result in 2mm for the cube?
For me not working symmetrically the Edge rounding process at Ctrl+B - 12:03, why I can't understand.
Thanks! I've been looking for something that would show how to make complex parts in Blender.
What mean "one two three" edit mode? how to set shortcut key? Thank you.
Thank you For home services kindly reach out my admin mr Frank harry on whatsapp+ 1 9 7 1 2 4 8 8 4 2 9 for a low rates now thank you?
Maybe I didn't see it but after you changed units at the beginning you didn't apply the scale to reset it to 1 with ctrl-A, is it on purpose?
Apply scale doesn't work for me , goes weird every time , quite a few attempts . Any suggestions ?
come out of edit mode first, you need to apply it in object mode
@@vizionthing This confused me too. So many of these tutorials forget to mention one small detail making it difficult for new users. (Edit: I should point out I was looking for the scale menu in Transform. He did say you had to switch to Object Mode but it was easy to miss.)
Superb tutorial!
Waiting for the second part about blueprint look and dimensional lines and arrows.
And special thanks for english version :)
Greetings from Poland
I am not able to remove edge at 11:40 because when i do that a part of the body disappear :(
Parabéns! Você é o máximo! Muito didático e muito prático, gostaria de ver esse arquivo impresso na impressora 3D. Seria legal... Greetings from Brazil
Thanks. I completed the tutorial effortlessly!
Impossible task! Just made error in dimension, but did not notice until too late. Now trying to change geometry, and deleted some vertices. The problem is that three lines intersect, but without vertices, ti can't make plane, no matter what. And then enabled TinyCAD plugin, and ruined to the end. Now I have no zoom option, it feels like shift is constantly pressed. Something is very wrong with Blender 2.81.
I'm about to shoot my computer soon...
Why does it look so easy when you draw your loops with Ctrl R ?
When I try it your way (CTRL R , pulling new loop to the edge, G+axis+number ) my loops jump to some random places but not to the exact point I entered ...
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you so much this helped a lot!!!! You saved my life
Nice, now i know how to create exact measurement. Btw remove doubles vertices are now named merge by distance.
At around 7:14 he very quickly explains how he's entering the numeric values to arrive at the ones reflected on the drawing but because he only verbally explains what he's doing (G-X-16) I'm having a very hard time duplicating the process; can anyone help? I do have my units set to mm and in the 3D viewport I am facing in the correct angle lastly I was able to create the base as he went through earlier, I'm also able to create the subdivisions with the ctrl R. I'm on a mac too BTW. I'd really like to get that detail because it's so important to the project. Thanks!
in the last bevel part how to know it was 8?
I am a medical and aerospace engineer. I would love to learn blender specifically for modeling engineering parts such as this video. Do you have a course specific to engineering design with blender? have you heard of "mechanical blender"? i use sketchup pro and solidowrks,
thanks
Thanks! You explained a lot of details and unit settings!
what about is freecad?
hopefully in the future blender will be able to have all of the functionality of autodesk inventor and revit
blender is totally different software compared to inventor, inventor uses circles etc.. blender has just vertices, remember you cant sculpt etc... in inventor
revit is a whole other thing, but i know what you mean about inventor, this is still too complicated, it would be nice that it could work like sketchup for simple geometry, something like moving and object from a vertice into the middle of a line and rotate it with a reference (not known angle) i still have no idea how to do it in blender while in sketchup that was like the second thing i did when i first tried it out.
What kind of tools
Best Video for Blender and CAD what i seen.
Woooaah merci mec je voulais vraiment avoir a apprendre un autre logiciel en plus comme solidworks en ce moment...
Super tuto :)
Amazingly useful info on a rare topic! I'm a new subscriber now. May I suggest that in future tutorials you try to maintain an even volume as you describe what's going on? Many time your voice dropped down to where I had to raise the volume to 100%, only to be blasted when you returned to normal.
Nice tutorial, it shows most tools for basic modeling. But I think round holes better do with boolean.
done my first model. thanks for your tutorial. All understood well. subscribed.
LOVE THIS TUTORIAL
Great job ! Just in case, in 2020 for merging you will have to use the shortcut M instead of ALT+M :)
Really good explanation, Amazing tutorial
Some reason the second bevel edge never works, the edges and vertices don't delete and then it just gets fucked up- anyone know why this is?
Hi, I'm a new comer to blender and would prefer some CAD like precision atleast when it comes to modeling to exact dimensions. Anything new I should know about or addons as I install Blender 2.8 today?
I'm doing 3d modeling as a hobbyist since a decade and i work in CAD/CAM since 3 years : to be brief, it's 2 different world and parametric modeling is way better for that, i could do that part in Fusion360 which is free in 5 minutes, while i keep everything editable with parametric history. Then export it in .stl or whatever for render in blender Cycles if i want. I mean i appreciate the effort and the tutorial but it's like "how to write a book in photoshop" : well, use Word or Libre Office.
If you want to design hard surface only for visualisations, why not blender (and hardops or Fluent or boxcutter), but if you have a blueprint to follow, just use CAD software, make your sketch, constraint them, and here you go.
At 7 mins in the video, it's loop-cut demo, I follow you steps almost, but I can not let loop cut at 16mm, my keys are Ctrl-R then GX+16, what steps i missed ?
you have the right steps, did you left-click to position the loop on the far edge before typing GX16? (which should then grab the selected loop and move it 16mm on x axis). There shouldn't be any other steps needed if you saw the loop cut created when you hit Ctrl+R and then left clicked
@@plumdog Thanks for your response, I got right steps yesterday, between Ctrl+R and GX16, it needs two left-click extra
@@plumdog THANK YOU
Great tutorial mate. I am still learning Blender and having used various 3D programs for some time, I have been wondering how to control, how far I want certain edge loops to go or how high to extrude at a certain height. Thanks as this helps alot, especially if I want specific sizes.
how much is the training fee?
Nice video! And where is your video about placing measurements? I don’t see it
I bought the course on Udummy and it is great. I'm at the video for the chain and I find I understand the process so much more now in just a few days. I highly recommend it.
HELP: whenever I click any option (sometimes after 2 clicks), and I move my mouse, I'm zooming in or out - how can I stop this? I mean I normally just want to zoom in or out with my clickwheel. When I'm moving something around, the last thing I want is to simultaneously zoom in or out. I have to hit escape all the time to stop the zooming
