mice n keyboard stuff

[flachdrache]

can someone please enlighten me

 

-Ctrl key + right click in editor duplicates selection and positions it at the picked position.
-Ctrl key + left click in editor positions selection at the picked position.

 

How does this work e.g. mouse pointer is jumping around but aint picking/positioning stuff.

When you place or duplicate you need you mouse to let go on a terrain or on an other model in the scene I believe.

If you let go of the mouse in empty space, nothing will happen.

Hmmm, right-mouse is cameraView and left-mouse is selecting - control aint changing a thing here.

All i got is a area-select for selecting multiple models.

 

Which model am i supposed to select (from the list or scene)?

in the scene.

 

it is described in the LUG on page 38

Nope thats the old - pre 2.31 way to do it. Currently this (first post) descibes how-to position/dublicate entitys to a "picked position".

tbh, control aint doing it with right-mouse button (the arrow just disappears) and written is "click" not "hold + let go" ... sorry for being that picky. harhar

You need to press the control and the shift key. It works fine here (using 2.32.5)

right - guess i need a little sleep then.

Glad it works. to be honest I think that there are many people out there who don't know this.
