extruding the edges, when creating the directional pad.

[Nicholas Britton]

when I press E then S + X to scale the sides out, it doesn’t move. What I’m doing wrong?

Hi Nicholas,

Could you give us a bit more information (a screenshot might be very helpful here..please not in top, orthographic view).

Two things that come to mind, are that you don’t have the correct Faces or Edges Selected, or you have Individual Origins enabled as Pivot Point.

But, seeing that you have a problem with Extruding, please consider watching this first:

Hey Nicholas,
It may seem trivial, but make sure you are in edit mode and have selected the faces you want to extrude.
As Martin said try the Blender basics first.

Press Start is an awesome first project, however the Basics and the Fundamentals are the ultimate starting point as a beginner.

[Omar Domenech]

I agree, the Fundamentals and the Basics is the way to start and then come back to Press Start. But yes, if you’re trying to scale and it doesn’t move, there must be a pivot setting that is doing that.

Or maybe in the options you have Affect only set to Origins or Locations, check just in case.
