Scaling two edge loops




At around 20 mins you add 2 edge loops then scale them apart on the Y. When I scale I cannot work out how to send them in different directions. Not sure what I am doing wrong.


thank you

    Hey there, you'll need to confirm the edge loops by left clicking or hitting enter before you can scale. Does that do the trick?

    Thank you for the reply but that does not work for me. I add two edge loops (middle mouse to add the second). Left click to confirm and whilst they are both selected I then S for scale on the Y and it moves them either one way or another but not apart.


    thank you again

    Hmm, if you're using a newer version of Blender 2.8, try hitting Y twice. If your orientation happens to be local, hitting Y will now first use the local Y instead of the global Y.
