Let’s Learn the basics of blender:

Step 1: To create a general file select general in the splash screen.

Step 2: To work on an object you have to select that object (select object is represented by an orange color).

Step 3: Press Tab to toggle from object to edit mode.

Step 4: To move a cube in y direction(y coordinate) we use the “G” button to move an object in any direction, but if you want to move the object in a particular direction you should use the X, Y, or Z button with the “G”, i.e. if you want to move in Y direction Press g + y,

also press A to select all the vertices in the object.

Shortcuts:

G + X: To move in the X direction

G + Y: To move in the Y direction

G + Z: To move in the Z direction

G + shift + X: To move in any direction except X, i.e. you can move in Z and Y direction.

G + shift + Y: To move in any direction except Y, i.e. you can move in Z and X direction.

G + shift +Z: To move in any direction except Z, i.e. you can move in X and Y direction.

There are three selection modes:

  1. Vertex selection mode: Where you edit an object by its vertices.
  2. Edge selection mode: It is a mode where you edit an object by its edges.
  3. Faces selection mode: Editing of objects using their faces.

Step 5: To resize the object in any coordinate direction Press S+X, S+Y, or S+Z +(no. of times you want to increase the size).

for example:

If you want the double the size of your cube in the x direction then press S + (X) + 2

if you want to increase the size in any direction then press S+ (0…9)

Step 6: Select a single vertex by tapping on one, if you want to select two vertices then press Shift + tap on another vertex.
