Introduction
This page lists some useful Blender shortcuts and tools. The bare minimum tools that are required to prepare a model for PES are highlighted in green. If a tool is only available in Blender versions newer than 2.79, it will be noted.
Some tools have options with additional shortcuts; these are displayed at the bottom of the viewport while the tool is active.

Object mode
| Tool | Shortcut | Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Join | J | Joins the selected objects with the active object. The merged object has the properties of what was the active object. | |
| Apply transforms | Ctrl+A | Opens a dialog to apply the location, rotation, and/or scale of the object. This sets the current location/rotation to (0,0,0) and scale to 1. All changed transforms need to be applied before export, as these values are not respected by other programs. | |
| Parent | Ctrl+P | Opens the dialog to parent the selected objects to the active object. |
Edit mode
| Tool | Shortcut | Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Separate | P | Separates the selected parts of the object into a new object. The new object retains the properties of the object it was separated from. | |
| Edge tools | Ctrl+E | Opens a edge tool menu. Most importantly, this lets you mark UV seams and sharp edges. | |
| Unwrap | U | Opens the dialog to unwrap the UVs for the selected parts of the object. |
