[LordZeonidas]

are you sure its the c key? or is it the v key for snap to points...i think the c key is snap to curve

My cube is still snapping even after i un-pressed the Snap-button. I have searched for an option to change it, but i dont know what to do. Can anyone help me?

[awetabjo]

couldnt figure out the insert key

[HikaruNoIkaros]

@awetabjo I think the insert key is just holding down "D"

how do you get the pivot point back to the center of the object if needed?

[jandzban1]

@Mysticlambo

Modify>Center Pivot

[kotonizna]

Oh i found out what's equivalent of insert key!;) For all mac users just hold D to move the pivot point yay!

[kotonizna]

I'm using a macbook pro and we don't have insert key in the keyboards. Is there any other hotkey for pivot point editor? How can i do it manually instead?

[bouchandre]

can someone tell me what is the insert key?

[CowmasterStudios]

Great tutorial.

It should also be noted that in order to put your Pivot Point BACK to the Center of the object, do the following.

Select Object > Modify > Center Pivot

I made this function a hotkey on my shelf for faster access

I have all snaps deselected and my objects still seem to snap into place. I really need to know what is causing my objects to snap with all snaps being turned off. I would also like to add that in my layers box, when I select the visibility box the "V" doesn't automatically appear until I scroll up, down, or select a different layer. This goes to same for the R & T. Thanks for any help that may get me around these issues that are slowing me down. I am working in Maya 2011 on Mac OS

Love this series. You have done a fantastic job! Very clear. I'd pay for a series start to finish of a complete level from wire to texture just like this. thank you!
