How to Use The Spin Tool in Blender

Spinnnnnn

[@goatpepperherbaltea7895]

Thanks I’ve always figured this was useful but never took the time to figure it out

[@lanewallace.]

Glad I could help! :)

[@VaneTheLocal]

Thank you so much my brother! 🙏🏻 I got stuck not knowing how to swap axes with the spin tool, took a while but you just explained it so well and straight to the point

[@rr24creations]

I learned this method back in my early days with Blender, from a Blender Guru video actually. I think it was from one of his modelling tutorials, probably the chair tutorial. It's very useful to know, though admittedly I haven't had to bend mesh cylinders much and have pretty much used curves to build pipes most of the time.

[@yunushanbayrak4992]

After learning this method, it was very easy to make objects that require curves, such as pipes.

Thank you for this very simple illustration. Very helpful! Now I got it! :)

[@MrmerryPippin-tw6rv]

You explain everything so well, kudos

[@PIlltixx]

Thank you very much for the great and short tutorial

[@md.shafinislam5506]

Thank you very much Lane. U just did awesome.

[@peacefusion]

1. For Circles, your pivot point has to be a single vertex.
2. For Squares, your pivot point has to be an edge,
Once you found your pivot vertex or edge, you can also move the cursor with Shift +S (cursor to selected).
When you're ready, click on the whole face and choose your x, y, or z.

[@brendangarcia172]

Insane, thanks boss

[@TyboAudio]

Dope! Thx bro

[@easminruna9540]

Thanks a lot.

[@cekuhnen]

what is really missing is moving the 3d cursor like an object along a x y and being able to snap to geometry then

[@lanewallace.]

You can actually do this by going to the side bar and then the view tab

[@cekuhnen]

@@lanewallace. yes you can and that is fine for manual entry but it should be possible to drag it like an object and snap to geometry while dragging

[@lanewallace.]

Ohhh yes I know what you mean now, and you’re right, that would be very useful in many cases

[@apemant]

You can in Blender 3.3: Shift + hold down Right mouse button; turn on snapping to vertex (etc.) or hold Control to temporarily turn on snapping while dragging.
Edit: But only press Shift + Right mouse to start! Then after that you can hold down Control (otherwise it will try to lasso select).
I actually never tried this until I read your comments, I just knew you could Shift + Right click to set the 3D cursor, but this is very useful, huge time saver for me!!! :D

[@Swaggy_PP]

For some reason it doesn't show me the (+ - Menu)

[@BLACK_TIGER_OFFICIAL]

[@mkjyt1]

WOW

[@lgnobil]

Powerfull tool, was playing around with it. Is there a way to make the spin tool circle radius bigger?

[@lanewallace.]

Hmmm I’m not sure, but I think the position of the 3D cursor dictates the radius

[@PhilippeLhoste]

I moved the 3D cursor beyond the extremity, and higher. It made the radius bigger, but with a strange curvature. But then I found out that the green, red and yellow arrows can be dragged to get the right look / curvature. The tool seems very flexible.

[@studionora8068]

知らなかった　便利すぎ～　Thank you！！

[@chikoentertainment2909]

Why is my spin tool not becoming active?

[@sayaato6721]
