Mirror problem / object center.

[TomiL]

All right guys. Blender rules!

Started a Corolla KE70 but I´m having a mirror problem.

The center dot on a plane is... see the pic, it´s not center on a hood. It should be on the left so I could MIRROR it.

How can I move the "center" dot or whatever it is to the center?

that's an easy one, I can help there.

click on the object (selected), go to editing menu (F9) and press center new. or put the 3d cursor somewhere and press center cursor. the center options are under the mesh tab

You know about ctrl+r option? it's cutting, it's very handy. and if you want the cut to be precise in the middle, you press ctrl+r, click to get purple line and than 0 and enter. 0 = zero offset.

and you can select a whole line or edge of vertex's by clicking right mouse button and holding alt. doing it twice will get the other "row". just try it.

one time pressing b is rectangular select, twice b is round select, by scrolling you can increase the select area.

I only know loop knife cut and bevel option, edge extrude etc.
Thanks for the tips Will try them. Didn´t know about the cut tool.

Also about loop cutting with ctrl-r, when you have typed ctr-r and the purple line has appeared, scroll the mouse wheel to increase the number of cuts. So if you want to cut a loop into five loops, click ctrl-r and scroll the mouse wheel until five purple lines are visible- then click enter.
