The Command Panel

Let me show you the Command Panel. It has several tabs. But we’ll just use the Create, Modify, Hierarchy, and Display tabs in the entirety of this book. You can also access the different commands in the Command panel on the Main Menu bar.

CREATE TAB

In this tab you can find most of the options you need in creating your 3D models. It contains the Geometry, Shapes, Lights, Cameras, Helpers, Systems, and Space Warps. This is where you got the Teapot in the earlier section.

MODIFY TAB

As what the name says, it lists all of the modifiers available for you to model your primitive shapes.

HIERARCHY TAB

Here, you will be able to change the pivot position of your rigged objects for moving, rotating, and scaling.

DISPLAY TAB

Under the Display Tab you can Hide objects when you don’t want to see them on your active viewport.
