Question Modeling

after i extruded several vertices i used the loop cut tool to place a new vertex. but each time it stay active now. escape does not work when i grab a vertex i still see the loop cut staying active. how do i fix this or what did i do wrong? 

its been a while since i used blender so i still am strugling a lot.

    Hello Yukino. You have the tool selected, so every time you hover your mouse over a mesh, it's with the tool active. I suggest you start from the beginning, watch the Blender Basics, so you get that memory to getting back at it again.

    Hi Yuki yyukinoh1989 ,

    Yes, like Omar says: it's a good idea to re-watch the Blender  Basics.

    Also, it is better to use the shortcuts, instead of the so-called Active Tools. For the Loop Cut and Slide the shortcut is CTRL+R..

    Also, make sure your Preferences are set to use the Immediate Tool Keys:

    hey.
    both thanks for the reply currently i wont be able to watch the video's since i am in a bad situation, still dont know what kind of bills i will get the next few years or what to expect. but apparently i added the shortcut rightclick to the loop cut. after removing it, i could work again better. 

    for the time been i hope this will help to keep my mind of the bad things and get me back up. 
    and hopefully i can create something nice :).
    Once i am back better i will subscribe again.

    Hi yyukinoh1989. Good to hear from you again. I don't know if this might also be too expensive, but there's a great deal with multiple courses untill the 24th. The core courses are included in that

    Hello Sheila5 thank you. Currently it still is. at this moment i already needing financialy help trough it is a really great deal. Hope i get lucky and in a few months the deal will be back and my situation has hopefully changed by then.

    I hope so. I think cgcookie also has support for people with financial problems, but i don't know what that entails. In the meantime there's tons of tutorials on YouTube. And you can always come on discord to discuss issues either via posts or live chat
