Various Useful Things to Know

This page isn't particularly about any "one" specific thing, but rather a bunch of small tips that otherwise don't have enough substance to them to really be their own page. This page will continue to be updated over time.

Use Quick Favorites!

Quick Favorites are incredible for shortcuts of any kind, and can speed up your workflow by a ton!

By default, Quick Favorites are bound to the 'Q' key, you can add to your quick favorites menu by right-clicking any button in basically any menu. You can remove options from your Quick Favorites by right-clicking them in the Quick Favorites menu to unassign them.

Personally in addition, I like to have my Quick Favorites button set to the extra side button on my mouse for extra convenience, I recommend it for you too if you have a side button on your mouse!

Local View

Local View is a feature of Blender that allows you to isolate and focus your currently selected object(s), this is much quicker than having to go individually hide other objects that are in your way! You can click '/' on your keyboard with a selected object to enter and exit Local View.
