Hit a snag in blender 2.65

[ProjectRender]

I am currently trying to learn blender on my own, and i found a pretty good albiet old tutorial that covers most of the basics of what I am currently workin on.

 

All went well until about 6:00 min into the video when he started messing with a setting(button) described as limit selection to visible. I have to pic centered as he does pushing 3 (side view), but when I box select the corner vertices of the cube to start modeling it I have to right click to get the motion back then it will defer and only select one vertice at a time. I can still model and such, just one vertice at a time. I have the patience to do it like this but I can't match them at every point, and I'm afraid of the model coming out uneven. I'm very new to blender so any snags like this would be disastrous for me later in the process. Just checking to see if this is something in the system, or if it is actually me causing this.

 

TLDR- 6:00 min into video he chooses limit selection as visible-can box select 2 vertices to manipulate. When I do this I must right click to cancel the box select and am only able to manipulate 1 at a time causing uneveness throughout the model.

 

Thx nexus

By "right click to get the motion back" you mean right clicking and dragging to move the vertices? Don't do that, after you select the vertices you want to move, make sure your mouse pointer is inside the 3D window, press "G" and move them, when you get them where they need to be you can then left click to confirm placement or right click to cancel.

Im somebody who easly overlooks small hotkeys and such, yea you pretty much hit it on the head. The whole time I was just trying to move using the RMB, even though it should have it, never dawned on me to go thru the keyboard and try em all lol. Blender is pretty confusing at first, but kudos to you friend much appreciated. Now on with the blending.
