You should add that once you have changed all the settings for mm you should go to File /Default and then Save Startup File or all of your mm settings will revert back to meters. Great video though.
THANK YOU!!!! i just started to search how to. would be annoying to do this every time i start blender...
Thank you
Thank you! :)
just wanted to start a search for this! thx.
Thanks for the advice.
Without this comment I know my eye was going to start twitching! Thanks!
I'm learning blender right now with the intent of toymaking, you can't imagine how much learning this helped me.
An excellent precise tutorial - however in order to have Blender open in MM every time you need to go FILE - DEFAULTS - SAVE STARTUP FILE (After you have set everything up. AS listed in IMPORTANT comment down below - caused me a bit of frustration that bit but all good now.
thank you so much😄
Legendary tip.
Legend, saved me a headache
Thank you!
I've been using Blender for a long time and this was the most concise "here's how to get it to what you want" video I've seen.
Thank you John,
It means a lot to hear that i've been able to be valuable yet concise.
Just watched this and 100% agree!
I've watched this countless times. It's an integral way for me to get comfortable with the blender layouts. Something I can depend on! Thank you
Jonathan, once again this is the best place for a succinct, clear explanation that covers all the ins-and outs of what I searched.
The first time someone can really explain how to use blender otherwise they are always using hotkeys this guy is amazing !!! I’m SUBSCIBED !!! Ur amazing in explaining thankyou !!!!!
So good to find a maker that's decided also to settle on Blender for precision drawing, 3D printing and hopefully CNC plus laser cutting.
(A350 Snapmaker 2 here).
I'm subscribing
Again - thank you - really appreciate you sharing your quest
Brilliant video, thankyou so much. Was constantly tweaking scale coming from Moi3d into Blender before. This will be a huge time saver.
Thank you - This is my third attempt at blender, and now I think I can actually make it work for me. Thank you
Thank you very much, I always use millimeters in Illustrator and Artios Cad, and I did not know how to configure millimeters correctly in Blender, direct and precise, thanks for your time
This series of videos is fantastic. As an architect familiar with AutoCAD, Rhino and Revit, this really fills in a lot of the gaps in understanding the differnces in modeling in Blender. Excellent work!
Thank you professordeb,
I'm so happy that you are getting so much out of this series and it's making it easier to learn blender for you 😀
Straight to the point clear instructions. Love it!
Quick and easy, no Talking around just straight to the point exactly what you want perfect video
Thank you! Very new to Blender but excited to learn by watching these videos.
Thank you very much.
I'm having trouble with my model being oversize and you gave the solution for it.
OMG THANK YOU!! Right to the point and one of the most helpful beginners like me. You saved my sanity.
Exactly what I need, thanks. I've been struggling to get to grips with creating accurate models for 3Dprinting with Blender. Going to watch the whole series now. Subscribed !
Great to hear!
Be sure to follow the newist one: th-cam.com/play/PL6Fiih6ItYsXzUbBNz7-IvV7UJYHZzCdF.html
Thank you, this helped a novice 3d print hobbyist immensely
Great tutorial, just what I needed. Thank you!
You just gained a new subscriber. Looking forward to your future videos.
Thank you! This is a great help!
Thank you! Great and useful tips!
this is what I needed, thank you!
very helpful thank you. Also, thank you for the tip about clipping. That one stumped me for a while.
Perfect!! That's it! Thank you!
Thank you, really helped me out.
I needed this video in my life
thanks for the video, I am a beginner, and is really easy to follow and understand the step-by-step, great video!!
WOW this tutorial was soooo helpful. Thankyou Maker Tales :)
Perfect, thank you!
this is just 10/10
I open this tutorial every time I start a new project in blender, I swear I cannot remember it by myself. Somehow this is the part where I always end up with "wait... how do I do that? I should remember how to do it THIS time right? Ehh, just open Maker Tales tutorial". It always helps me do it in one minute and I am super grateful that you put it out there!
Hi StarsCloudsRainbows,
I'm so glad it's so useful for you. Do keep in mind if you always work in mm to read the first comment of this video that I have pinned as I missed a very key point which is showing you how to save those settings for all future projects.
Just purchased a 3D printer and found this great series to learn precision 3D modelling. Subscribed and liked, thank you very much.
Thank you very much Tony and no problem i'm so happy I could help 😀
Very good! Thanks from Brazil
Great help. Thx!!
man thanks a bunch this was a great help
Your video save me! Thank you so much!
I learnt more about Blender watching a couple of your videos than I did from the myriad other vids I had watched before. Thank you sir!
Glad to help Mark!
Just be sure you got through the new course as i've done my best to fill it with good info: th-cam.com/play/PL6Fiih6ItYsXzUbBNz7-IvV7UJYHZzCdF.html
I think this is the best video in this length unit settings topic. Thank you!
Thank you.... BUT i would have to say it's only the second best.... Only because i've made another updated one for blender 2.91 😂 th-cam.com/video/VihRvil3138/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for the great content. I have been wanting to use Blender as the modeling tool for my 3D prints. Thanks to your series.. now I can. :)
Glad I could help! In the future there will be lots of 3D print related stuff coming into play too. Including mesh manipulation and kit bashing from other stl files into one.
This is exactly what I needed.
Dude, thank you. I've been running into this issue over and over. I also model mostly in the mm scale and I've been having a bitch of a time getting Blender to play ball on that. LOL, I'm definitely following you and your channel. You do the kind of model I do in 3ds Max. I'm slowly learning how to make Blender work for me.
Thank you! u a my hero!
Excellent content! Thank you for sharing!
I'm really glad it was helpful Erick!
best Blender tutorial video I have ever found,
Thank you!
Thanks! Exactly what I needed.
I'm so glad I could help
I found what i was looking with very short precise and clear way...thanks for making like this video.. i subscribed your channel and looking forward for more videos..
Thank you. A very useful tutorial.
Thank you John,
I'm glad it came in handy.
Thank you so much!!!!
Super useful
Thank u, bro!
So far so good.
Thanks for your kind tutorial.
Your Welcome Ongolzin 😊
Full of good advice. Sure to be more people with time on their hands trying out Blender, and these types of video will make it easier for them. May even give it a go myself as an add-on to creating stuff in MoI3D. Keep the videos coming, and hopefully you'll see the big growth in subscribers and views you deserve.
Cheers Andrew, Even if I help out one person it's all worthwhile 😀. I know it's a slow ride to get lots involved but as long as I keep making good useful quality videos to help others while i'm going on this maker journey i'm happy. yes, I'll need to make a living at some point but I have a feeling once I start making real courses and stuff like that it will in pull together in the end. *fingers crossed* OOO do let me know what you would like to know while you give it a go and i'll see if I can give you a hand threw videos. Thanks for the support 😃
thank you!
You just got a new subscriber with this tips
This is an absolute awesome video mate. I am starting out with my own business in 3d printing and a lot of my work I deal with millimetres not metres. I am not new to blender as such I used to do character moulding years ago but now into precision work now for my 3d printing. this has helped me so much within the short length of this video. I so so look forward to watching other videos of yours. I have now to find another vid on something so can learn where the settings and that are for that, as in my very first official project. take care, bye
also I will most definitely be subscribing and setting up my notification to full. also I will be putting the word about with these videos to my friends who are in the same area of work as me. thanks again
Thanks man
Hello!
I'm a big fan of your page and I love the precision tutorials!!
I noticed that when I'm in orthographic mode (after adjusting clipping parameters), I get these vertical line patterns on my screen. I suspect it may have something to do with the clipping but can't pinpoint the issue. Also, I'm working in standard units if that may play into the lines issue. I can send a snippet if you'd like a reference!
Thanks so much for these great contributions to the community!!
This is useful in making simulations with small real scale objects. Because with meter unit, the objects have to be quite large in order to make the blender perform normally in simulations.
Most useful video I have seen this month!
Glad you think so!
Thank you😉
great! glad i found this play list. far out! 😁
Thank You So much Brother😁😁😁😁😁
Thank You.
Brilliant
Finally! I know why my model is gone when I rotate the cursor. Thanks!
Thank you so much :-*
Thanks !!!!
I have been looking for this for so long, getting mad at unit set up
thanks for posting
No problem 👍
Make sure you check out how it's done in blender 2.91, It's in my latest series for 2.91
THANKS!!!
Have this video book marked so I can come back to it every time I upgrade blender and I've forgotten how to do it with my 2 brain cells. Great videos!
FINALLY! I have something for after my Solidworks Student Edition and College Ended.
very helpful. thanks
Glad it was helpful mauricio!
thanks bro
Fantastic video. 4 :20 as well nice.
THANK YOU, I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS EVER SINCE I STARTED BLENDER (last week)
No problem!
If you are just getting into blender be sure you are learning form the new course: th-cam.com/play/PL6Fiih6ItYsXzUbBNz7-IvV7UJYHZzCdF.html
@@Keep-Making Thanks! Very useful stuff here :)
Super useful! Switching to mm was the first thing I wanted to do but didn't understand all the scale options too. Thanks!
No problem pwrkiter,
It was the first thing to catch me out when I started in blender.
Very to the point and well explained! Even a potato like me understood!
Thanks mate, was going frustrated it`s ok now
holy 4k video is good to learn it , luv it !
Glad you liked it!
I'm a simple man. You said hard surface modelling. I sub.
Fyi changing scale doesn't change it for all of blender - just that saved file *if* you save out your startup settings. Super handy to have blender always start with everything the way you want it
Thank you sooooo mutch hahaha :)!!
funnily enough im using blender to model "Water Pipes" and i see your video is 4:20. nice bro
Thnaks, i am trying to figure it with using with ZBrush }I am ZBrush user] so thanks for that mm setup
THANK YOU! I've been hunting through "measurements in blender" vids for like 45 minutes trying to figure this out. Nobody ever talked about the unit scale so I would want to convert the meters to mm and instead of 350m -> 350mm it would covert it to like 350,000 mm. Really annoying.
You have probably realised after watching this video that the basic settings don't get saved from file to new file, and since i can't find the pinned comment here it is again, go to > File > Defaults > save startup file. Hope this helps.
Thanks Jonathan for this video! One issue I experience when changing the Clipping Point by adding a zero is that I get depth buffer glitches. I tend to work in perspective mode. How do you work around this? My models are between 650mm to 1000mm in size.
nice one
Thank you.
good
cool
thanks for the video, does that mean that when you say extrude and scale - the scale is in mm not a decimal 0-1mm which is annoying when say you are extruding and scale a circle to different rings and depths.
Спасибо.
Hiya mate, good quick video, is there a way to make it save these settings for every open of blender or do i have to do it everytime? Just tried three times and every new file it goes back to big old meters.
Excellent! Thank you!👍👍 Now if only some Blender tutorial guys would change to millimeters from meters 🙄🙄 for small precision models that would be great!
You're more than welcome!
Hmmm I wonder who might do that 😂
Your videos are fantastic!! Exactly what I needed and in clear, concise instructions. You have a pleasant voice, great green eyes, and the right pace of learning! Bravo on all accounts. I am curious as to where you learned all of this info for yourself??
Hi Paladin Cigars,
Thank you for your kind words. I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos.
As to where I have learnt all this information. Well I jumped into blender via Print That Things course: th-cam.com/video/tADBX-LrGHc/w-d-xo.html
It was a good start and it's got a lot better from what I've heard. Apart from that, I have quite a few years of experience in VFX and Product design through lots of 3D modelling programs. Once you learn one and the workflow. It's just a case of learning the new shortcuts in other programs. I played around in blender for about 3 -4 months and I found it very annoying that no one was doing any precision-based videos to help those coming from a CAD background or joining blender only for CAD so I thought I would help out and create what I wish I had at the start. So short answer I pressed lots of buttons in blender for 3 months untill I started to understand how I could relate to them. 😅
@@Keep-Making Awesome man thank you! I am so happy you are making these videos as I am a huge Blender fan (just the idea of a program being this powerful and FREE gives me goosebumps) and am looking to do 3D printing based off designs from Blender, have a Prusa i3 MK3 on the way, hope that was a good choice in printer! Thanks again!
Great to hear, I'll be showing a lot more about design and 3D printing in the future with blender.
Plus i'll also show how to get some easy pretty renders out of blender too when you don't really feel like 3D printing an idea.
I have been looking for these instructions for months and now I can no longer use fusion360 I wanted to start using Blender for my modelling work. So Thanks.
Thank you for the video. I make it and save the setings but everytime open a new project all is in meters again. Do you know why is that ?
