Talk:A beginner's guide, lesson 1 - The Construction Set Primer/Archive 1

Reference Selection

Now select an object on the bar. Any will do. We can now look at the cell content list on the right of the cell window. Scroll down and you should find the object highlighted.

Doesn't work for me. Works well the other way around (select in Cell Window, highlighted in Render Window), but not as discribed above.

Rotation

Hey Tom,

[To rotate in the x axis use X + RMB] {To rotate in the y axis use Z + RMB}

I've noticed this line and found a little discrepancy near the beginning of lesson 2 (the part where you summarise what you've covered in lesson 1).

In lesson 2, it's stated that Y + RMB to rotate in the Y axis.

It's just a little confusion somewhere I'm sure. It's still a damn good guide because it's helped me much!

You make a German go wild

Man at first I thought I could never learn how to hand it. But your guide really proves me wrong!!! Awesome man!! Well the difficult parts....... Seem a lot easier now. I guess I just wanted to say thanks a lot man. And even I a German could understand everything you wrote. There is nothing like this to be found on any German webpage. Keep on with the good work BLUTSBRUDER

P.S. Oblivion rulezzz

An Editorial Consideration

In editing this article, I encountered a somewhat minor but unfortunate problem. In the Introduction section, there is a great opportunity to link to a definition of Cells in general. However, after searching the wiki, the only good definition I can come up with is on the page: Categories:Cells, which is not linkable (unless I'm overlooking something) because it's a category. Is there a way to either design a wiki syntax that will allow linking to a category page, or transfer the information on that page to a general wiki page without being redundant?

You can link to categories with this syntax (note the : before the word category):

[[:Category:Cells]]

Excellent, thanks for that. The article seems much more complete with a link to this definition in the Intro.

Heavy Formatting Work Finished

I've done a full-scale revision of this article with a few important considerations in mind: namely, internal cross-referencing, readability, and organization of the ToC. I've cleared up some ambiguous wording, but as much as possible tried to preserve the original voice of the article. My hope is that I have helped make a great tutorial a little easier for a newcomer to navigate and absorb.

I have not removed Tom Dawson's name from the end of the article out of courtesy. The decision to keep or remove his name should be considered by a veteran contributor.
