    I don’t use it often so I have to go through YouTube tutorials to recall things.

    You can definitely make a 2cm cube by just typing “2cm” into the dimensions.

    The interface is like vim though, it’s a modal editor and learning/using the hot keys is essential.

    To do the cube thing: The whole process would be something like press “c” to open the create interface, select cube, scroll down the properties on the right hand menu and input your dimensions. I think you can also access them in the top right of the viewer.

    I’m probably wrong on my hot keys since I have used it in two years or so.

      Thanks, now I’ll have to try it again :-D

      My workflow is (I still will use 3dsmax for rigging & animation) make cubes, tubes and other simple geometry, set them at specific positions, do boolean operations.

      Moving the vertices would be nice too but that would be a start.
