Attempting to resize ledge thickness

[sryan]

Just as a note, for the face loop selection on a Mac ( 08:36 ) the usual equivalent of “option” ( as an alt replacement on Mac ) does not work. I did not find any key combination that worked as the video described for any modifier + clicking on the edge to select the face loop.

What did work was double click ( face mode ) on the edge or near the edge on the face.

Issue Sequence:

1. Select Face loop ( double click face )
2. Press 1 for side view
3. Press G for grab
4. Press Z to constrain to z-axis
5. Mouse down to drag face down

The expected results would be that the face moves down and the ledge becomes thicker ( per 08:50 in the video ). What I see instead is looks like the face extruded.

Any thoughts welcome.

It sounds like you have double vertices, just select all, then merge by distance. I think that should fix it.

I believe that double click route is activated as part of the preference option of emulating a 3 button mouse. Perhaps Macs need to use that by default somehow?

Actually this was exactly it. I’m not sure that I turned this on, might be a default, or maybe I did … who knows. In either case once the removal of the emulate 3 buttons was removed functionality was more in line with what I expected.
