In Blender, all modifiers are managed from the same panel:
- Look at the Properties column on the right side of the screen.
- Find and click the Blue Wrench icon (Modifier Properties).
- When you press the blue "Add Modifier" button here, you can see the entire list.
- You can add the modifier you want by typing its name in the search box or selecting it from the list.
Use Array instead of copying each piece individually when making a staircase, fence, or row of columns:
- How to Add? Add Modifier -> **Array** (Under the Generate tab).
- Count: Determine how many copies you want.
- Relative Offset: Determines the distance between copies. (For example, if you say X: 1.0, they will be arranged side-by-side).
- Advantage: A change you make to the main piece is immediately reflected in all copies.
Used to open window holes in a wall or join two complex shapes:
- Difference: Subtracts one object from another (To open a hole).
- Union: Joins two objects into a single piece.
- Tip: If you set the object you use as a cutter to "Wire" mode in the Viewport, you can better see what you are cutting.
Gives a real thickness to one-dimensional (paper-thin) surfaces:
- Thickness: Enter the object thickness numerically from here (e.g., 0.2m).
- Offset: Determines whether the thickness grows inward or outward.
- Usage Area: Ideal for objects like cups, walls, or pipes that are hollow but have thickness.
Modifiers are temporary unless you say "Apply" (non-destructive modeling):
- Why Apply? You need to make modifiers permanent before exporting to other software or game engines.
- How? Click the small arrow on the modifier and select **Apply** (Cannot be done in Edit Mode, you must be in Object Mode).
