    ROTATING OBJECTS
                     The Rotate tool in Blender allows users to rotate objects in the 3D Viewport

                     around a specific axis. It helps in adjusting the orientation of objects for
                     modelling, animation and scene alignment.
                     To use the Rotate tool in Blender, follow these steps:

                     Step  1    Click the Rotate tool from the toolbar.

                     Step  2    Select the object you want to rotate.
                     Step  3    Click and drag one of the coloured rotation circles (blue, green or red) to rotate the object
                              along a specific axis. The blue circle rotates around the X-axis, the green circle rotates

                              around the Y-axis and the red circle rotates around the Z-axis. Release the mouse button
                              to confirm the new rotation.

                              OR
                     To perform the task using the keyboard only, follow these steps:

                     Step  1    Select the object you want to move in the 3D Viewport.

                     Step  2    Press R on the keyboard to activate the Rotate tool.
                     Step  3    Move the mouse to freely adjust the object’s rotation in any direction.

                     Step  4    Click anywhere in the 3D Viewport to finalise the changes.

                     To constrain the rotation along a specific axis, press R followed by X, Y or Z.

                     SCALING OBJECTS
                     The Scale Tool in Blender allows you to resize objects along different axes.

                     To use the Scale tool, follow these steps:

                     Step  1    Click the Scale tool from the toolbar.
                     Step  2    Select the object you want to scale.

                     Step  3    Click and drag one of the coloured scale handles (blue, green or
                              red) to scale the object along a specific axis. Release the mouse
                              button to confirm the new size.

                              OR
                     To scale an Object Using the Shortcut Key, follow these steps:

                     Step  3    Move your mouse to scale the object uniformly.

                     Step  4    To scale along a specific axis:

                                  Press X for the X-axis (red).

                                                                                                      More on Blender  117
