I’m working my way through the “Training Manual Level 1” and “Exercise 24” introduces elevator mode. The Ortho button changes but it does nothing. My problem is neither the shift nor the O key do anything. Hello Jeff - Thanks for the quick response. If you push the O key, ortho will toggle on/off (the indicator is in the toolbar at the top of the window)… i generally leave ortho off though and use the shift key to temporarily turn it on… (and i do this a lot).īut i guess you’ll have to experiment with it to see what works best for you. I had accuracy issues when first trying that so pretty much after you set the first point, move the cursor off the point then bring it back ensuring you’re getting a ‘point’ snap prior to activating elevator mode.Įlevator is more powerful than just drawing vertical lines but it takes a minute to see what else it can do… still, i sort of wish there was a dumber mode in which a key press only does one thing which forces vertical from the start point. cmmd-click on that point again to go into elevator mode… the line will now be constrained to the Z axis.click in the perspective viewport to set the first point.You have to hold cmmd then click on the point you’d like to go vertical from… say you want to draw a vertical line (there are better ways to draw a vertical line but just for example) Elevator mode is a bit of a weird one to get used to (or it was for me at least) since i kept thinking i’d push a key and the thing goes vertical…
