View selected

[Sam_Hamsord]

@Michael_Bridges @ben
View selected (numpad del) (in edit and in object mode) should be introduced additionally (or instead of first person mode)
I’ve had this kind of problem myself, had to go from the course and look it up.

Zoom scroll speed

This isn’t necessarily a problem, as much of an annoyance, but is there a way to slow down the speed your view zooms in while in edit mode? it almost seems like the view snaps to the next blender unit instead of being a nice slow progression, once I try to zoom in to help with detail pieces. while working on the doorways on the pyramid I had to keep rotating and finagling the camera so I could see what I was doing because when I zoomed it would go too far. Edit: I’m asking in the Intro section …

Help, I can't move!

I am at the point where I want to construct my first stair on the mayan pyramid and all of a sudden I cannot move closer, up or down or sideways with the shift, middle mouse “button”. I can pan but that is all. I open a new file and it works find. I close the file and re-open it and I am still paralyzed. Any suggestions?

And one more from my PM:

I have a question for you if you could answer me, I do not know, why I can not go deeper when I am zooming with the mouse wheel

that is as much as I can do “zoom” with the mouse wheel, I did try shift + F for the first person and I can go closer, but maybe I am mission an option in the preferences or something?

@Marc_Carlyon could you dive in here?

Thanks @ben
This is actually one of the newer lectures to come in I think (Lecture 13) @Michael_Bridges and the introduction of the view selected comes in during the Mayan pyramid section if I am not mistaken.
I wonder if this could be added to the end of the current lecture to improve the learning if students are running into the issues sooner than anticipated.

I remember something was mentioned, yes, but too briefly, and lecture 12 does pushes a lot of students to go and try something of basic objects, some go quite far.
