Hmmm... Would it be alright for the shield to thicken it until the handle cannot be seen?

 

(I have no experience of editing objects)

Thankfully I figure it out and added a handle to the mesh in the replacer mod... can anyone tell me how to use blender to scale up an item i would like to make the shield a little larger.

Hit Tab to go into edit mode, then press "S" to activate scale mode. You can then restrict what axis it scales on by hitting X Y or Z. It will then scale as you move your mouse.

thanks for that tip. it work out well
Now I can re-size an object I'm practicing by using the shield mesh from the Kvatch shield. my question is how do i move the XYZ maker so it on the shield and not way below in space.


I want to move it so it where my red arrow it pointing in the image

Huh...this is one of those things where my backwards way of learning Blender is a problem.

 

I actually don't think it will matter, since if you enter edit mode, the XYZ marker should move to whatever vertex you have selected. I think. At least thats how I have it set up to work...but I'm not entirely sure how I set it up to do that.
