The Blender window is divided into a
number of rectangles. Reserve screen space for Editors, such as the 3D Viewport or the

Elements in blender

3D Cursor:
Grid Floor:
The gray cube in the center of the scene is a mesh object. Its ORANGE outline indicates that it’s selected. TheORANGE dot in the center is its Origin, which indicates its precise location.
Cube:
The default mode, available for all object types. Allows
editing position, rotation and scale, duplicating objects, and so on.Supports basic operations such as object creation, joining objects, managing shape
keys, and UV/color layers.
Object Modes
A mode for editing an object’s shape (vertices/edges/faces
for meshes, control points for curves/surfaces,
points/strokes for Grease Pencil, etc.).
Edit Mode
Provides an alternative toolset for editing an object’s shape
(only for meshes).
Sculpt Mode
Object Mode
To be able to work in the three-dimensional space that Blender uses, you must be able to change your viewpoint as
well as the viewing direction of the scene. While we will describe the 3D Viewport editor, most of the other editors
have similar functions. For example, it is possible to pan and zoom in the Image editor.

Pan the 3D Viewport
Refers to the 3D ____, a point in the 3D space that serves as a reference or pivot for various operations. The 3D ___can be placed in the scene to dictate where new objects will be added or to specify the pivot point for transformations.
Cursor
Allows users to select objects or vertices within a rectangular area on the viewport. Commonly used to select multiple items at once by clicking and dragging the mouse
Select Box
Enables users to move objects, vertices, or other elements along the X, Y, and Z axes. By pressing the ‘G’ key,
Move(g)
Allows users to rotate objects or elements around a specific pivot point. Pressing the ‘R’ key
Rotate(R)
Adjusts the size of objects or elements by scaling them up or down along the X, Y, and Z axes. The ‘S’ key is used
Scale (S)
Combines Move, Rotate, and Scale into a single tool for more versatile manipulation of objects.
Transform
Allows users to draw annotations or notes directly onto the 3D viewport. Useful for marking areas of interest or providing visual notes for collaboration,
Annotate
Provides a way to calculate distances or angles between points in the scene. helps users accurately gauge dimensions within their projects, improving precision in modeling.
Measure
Inserts a default cube object into the scene at the location of the 3D cursor. Commonly used as a starting point for various modeling tasks, accessible through the ‘Add’ menu or by pressing ‘Shift + A’
