Thread: simple blender help

hi,

here are the shortcuts:
- to duplicate (the same as copy+paste): Shift+D
- to make an edge/face (connect two vertices): F

when you are trying to figure out such stuff, select the object or vertices and then go to the on-screen menu (by pressing spacebar). here you will get many options. take a closer look at for example the Edit menu.

you must also consider downloading a tutorial for blender. it will give you a much better clue of how stuff works than any explanation I can give. there are plenty of tutorials around. just try to make a search with google or go to blender's website (www.blender3d.org), they've got a collection of nice tutorials.

hope this helped
