Blender 2.6 Tutorial 05 - Edit Mode, Extrude, & Loop Cuts

In this video I discuss & demonstrate in Blender 2.6 how to get in and out of edit-mode, how to transform vertexes, edges, and faces, how to extrude faces (to make a simple animal shape), and how to use the Loop Cut tool to add more detail to a mesh [box modeling].

@blendamBa took a look at your image -- it looks like you probably have some extra, overlapping geometry that you're not aware of. This is very common for beginners. Basically, you grabbed the same 3 edges as I did, but you had duplicates of them I think, so you only grabbed one set.. OR you pressed 'e' (which I didn't) to extrude the edges. I only moved the edges with the 'move' gizmo. Practice makes perfect, try from scratch again and it should work out. Be careful when you're extruding!

@pushak619 You can resent Blender to its 'factory' settings by going to File > Load Factory Settings, and THEN IMMEDIATELY going to File > Save user settings. Then quit Blender, and re-launch it.
