WEBVTT 00:00.150 --> 00:02.910 Welcome to different selection methods. 00:02.940 --> 00:10.290 So in this video we're going to learn some more ways to select your geometry using two features border 00:10.290 --> 00:13.470 select and circle select. 00:13.470 --> 00:15.350 So let's hop over into blender. 00:16.520 --> 00:23.450 Now both of these features are located in the select menu on the 3d Ed header so under select We can 00:23.450 --> 00:26.740 see you've got circle select and border select. 00:26.750 --> 00:33.430 Now you may hear me refer to a box select which is exactly the same thing as border select. 00:33.650 --> 00:38.000 You're essentially during a box or a border around the things you wish to select. 00:38.140 --> 00:43.910 So you do need to be in edit mode if you're not already and you do need to choose what you're going 00:43.910 --> 00:48.830 to select just like you would do if you're selecting things individually whether they be edges faces 00:48.890 --> 00:50.390 or vertices. 00:50.390 --> 00:53.100 So if we hit the big key. 00:53.120 --> 00:54.410 Let's see what happens. 00:54.410 --> 00:59.250 So we've got it on edge select and we're going to draw a box around here so selected. 00:59.300 --> 01:02.920 Every edge that line came in contact with. 01:03.250 --> 01:08.000 And if we spin round we'll see that it's not selected anything on the other side. 01:08.210 --> 01:16.370 If you do want to select through an object say this the whole top of this pyramid I would suggest you 01:16.370 --> 01:22.970 first move your view around so you can select the box orthographic view is best so there's no perspective 01:23.000 --> 01:23.930 playing. 01:24.140 --> 01:25.300 You want to d select. 01:25.370 --> 01:31.580 You've already selected and you can just press a key which D selects as well as selecting all hit the 01:31.660 --> 01:34.090 beaky for box select. 01:34.490 --> 01:36.680 And before you do that. 01:37.850 --> 01:41.340 You'll want to go in to wireframe mode. 01:43.300 --> 01:47.790 Rotate it back down in wireframe mode when you use a selection tool. 01:47.900 --> 01:53.760 It selects through your objet So I'm cautious now about how I'm selecting. 01:53.780 --> 01:57.520 That should have selected everything on top. 01:57.520 --> 02:03.740 Do you have to be careful if I drag the box round the actual too far out of selected all the top of 02:03.740 --> 02:05.160 the pyramid as well. 02:05.400 --> 02:13.310 Now in this view you'll notice if I finger and box select that edge it adds to the selection. 02:13.400 --> 02:19.680 If you want to remove from the selection when you do in the box selecting you can middle click. 02:20.120 --> 02:23.360 So a middle click and drag all d select. 02:23.860 --> 02:24.530 A. 02:25.430 --> 02:31.850 Just clicking and selecting more will add to your selection with no further impact. 02:31.910 --> 02:39.500 So let's try out Circle select circle select produces a circle and you can change the size of that circle 02:39.500 --> 02:40.960 with your scroll wheel. 02:41.330 --> 02:45.380 So obviously if it's this big and we've got it on edge select as we go over. 02:45.390 --> 02:52.730 Umm clicking now you can see I am selecting loads of edges as we go and as soon as we see this one here 02:52.780 --> 03:00.620 soon as all four edges of a face or however many face edges the face has have been selected the face 03:00.620 --> 03:02.370 highlights as well. 03:02.420 --> 03:09.140 So if I select that edge there it adds to its And again middle clicking will select as you go so you 03:09.140 --> 03:12.800 can select and select two using both of these selection tools. 03:12.800 --> 03:17.930 Very powerful stuff especially since we can change the size of this circle. 03:17.930 --> 03:19.640 Finally you can do anything. 03:19.650 --> 03:24.760 Steve exited the circle so you do need a right click at some point to exit. 03:24.920 --> 03:29.190 Whereas the box select automatically exits at the end of the selection. 03:30.530 --> 03:31.600 I found a challenge. 03:32.870 --> 03:33.560 Okay guys. 03:33.560 --> 03:39.020 I'd like you to remove some of the pyramid using either border or circle select. 03:39.020 --> 03:45.610 I'd like you to remove the parts of the pyramid covering the ramp that we've made ready for the stairs. 03:46.410 --> 03:52.260 So a quick look here at the pyramid how it is at the moment and then using the various selection methods 03:52.290 --> 03:55.670 we need to get to something that looks a bit more like this. 03:55.860 --> 03:56.670 So here we go. 03:56.670 --> 04:02.150 This is what we're aiming for those faces removed so we can see the ramp underneath. 04:02.160 --> 04:06.700 Now there are various ways you're going to be able to accomplish this you could do it one at a time. 04:06.870 --> 04:12.120 But I do suggest that you use one of the quick selection methods so you can highlight the lot and work 04:12.120 --> 04:12.660 on it. 04:12.660 --> 04:15.050 So examples of video now and give That's a go. 04:17.320 --> 04:18.430 Welcome back. 04:18.460 --> 04:21.020 Let's go and remove those parts of the pyramid. 04:21.100 --> 04:24.090 So let's hop straight on over into blender. 04:24.100 --> 04:26.820 Now we can see quite clearly. 04:26.860 --> 04:32.920 Oh we can't actually because this pyramid's the same on both sides and I've rotated it round several 04:32.920 --> 04:36.620 times so I can't see clearly one of these has got a ramp rep. 04:36.790 --> 04:37.920 And one of them hasn't. 04:37.990 --> 04:42.600 How do we tell that well we're going to hop over in to wireframe mode. 04:44.240 --> 04:46.220 I'm going to move it back into perspective. 04:46.280 --> 04:51.860 And I'm just going to remove all the rest of the orange so we can see there that there's no ramp on 04:51.860 --> 04:54.030 this side and there is on here. 04:54.320 --> 04:57.410 So now we know that we can come out of wireframe mode. 04:57.560 --> 05:03.830 Now the ramp itself I'm being a bit forward thinking here the ramp itself stops on the edge so we don't 05:03.830 --> 05:05.420 want to delete that edge. 05:05.440 --> 05:08.550 Otherwise the ramp itself will disappear. 05:08.930 --> 05:13.010 So we need to delete that hedge all the way down to that edge. 05:13.070 --> 05:14.660 We could hold down Shift and select them all. 05:14.660 --> 05:16.810 There's not a great number in this case. 05:16.820 --> 05:21.860 I'm going to because I'm at an angle I could make it perfectly square and use board border select but 05:21.860 --> 05:26.430 because I'm at an angle I'm going to hit see four circle select doesn't have to be terribly big. 05:26.450 --> 05:31.300 I'm just drawing straight up here all the way to there. 05:31.370 --> 05:32.180 Finally I'm. 05:32.270 --> 05:35.550 I can even go through mesh punch can I hit the x key. 05:36.610 --> 05:37.040 Ah. 05:37.220 --> 05:38.600 So what the circle selected. 05:38.600 --> 05:40.750 Remember to right click out of it. 05:41.080 --> 05:44.170 Okay x how we're going to delete the edges. 05:44.180 --> 05:45.960 Nothing else just the edges. 05:46.160 --> 05:48.830 And there we go we can see our ramp underneath. 05:48.830 --> 05:49.390 Brilliant. 05:49.490 --> 05:51.110 How did you guys get on. 05:51.110 --> 05:53.890 Remember to save your pyramid if you haven't done already. 05:53.890 --> 05:58.940 And oh I've just had a thought a week or so. 05:58.970 --> 06:02.660 I haven't named my cube. 06:02.730 --> 06:03.830 Was not cube. 06:04.040 --> 06:04.640 Oh dear. 06:04.640 --> 06:05.930 So let's change that now. 06:05.930 --> 06:07.660 So it says pyramid. 06:08.790 --> 06:13.140 And of course that's the mesh object renamed rather than meshed data itself. 06:13.140 --> 06:17.520 But don't worry we'll get to that a bit later in the course to understanding the differences. 06:17.620 --> 06:23.190 But so if any of you have already named your mesh pyramid Congratulations you become a teacher to doing 06:23.190 --> 06:23.550 it. 06:23.550 --> 06:28.890 Make sure you do name your meshes otherwise later on when you have something more complex is going to 06:28.890 --> 06:31.460 be a pain to find anything. 06:31.470 --> 06:33.350 See you guys in the next lecture.
