Architectural Elements 4: Setting up a simple architectural wall element

Christopher Tyler Jul, 16th 2014 0 Comments
This modeling tutorial shows how to set up a simple architectural wall element with 4 evenly spaced structural elements. It specifically shows how to move elements in both 'element' or 'object' modes. In the final video a brief discussion shows how one selection mode may be advantageous over another when performing certain operations.
