Why Do Blender's R and S Keys Stop Working?

Join me in this Blender tutorial where I solve a common problem users often face. Have you ever found yourself unable to rotate or scale an object, despite being able to move it? It's likely you've activated the 'Locations' feature, intentionally or by mistake.

WHO AM I?
Hi there! 👋 I'm Mike, and I'm relatively new to RUclips. I've been teaching Blender professionally for over 10 years, and I'm excited to share my knowledge with the community here. On this channel, you'll find full guides, courses, and tools to help guide, reassure, and educate you on your Blender journey. Let's create something amazing together!
PS: Some of the links in this description are affiliate links that I get a kickback from 😜
In this video, I guide you through how to access the 'Locations' option under the tools menu, as well as by using the shortcut key 'N'. Once there, you'll see how to disable this setting to regain control over your objects. This fix is simple, straightforward, and it can make a world of difference in your Blender experience.
I'll be honest, I'm not sure if there's a dedicated shortcut to this specific fix. If you know one, please share it in the comments below. We're all here to learn and grow together.
Whether you're new to Blender or a seasoned pro, my hope is that this tutorial brings value to your 3D modeling journey. Feel free to explore my other videos for more Blender tips and tricks. Looking forward to seeing you in the next one!
