00:43 <jadew> is it possible to cut an object in half and work on each halves separately?

00:43 <jadew> or even on one of them

00:44 <jadew> I want to make a handle and it's a two piece object

01:30 <d42> jadew: you could use assemble

01:32 <jadew> d42, isn't that for putting pieces together?

01:33 <d42> it kind of is, but you can work on those pieces separately ,_,

01:33 <d42> i guess i don't really understand your issue :^)

01:34 <jadew> :) well, consider I have a cylinder

01:35 <jadew> can I split it in half?

01:35 <jadew> and work only on one half?

01:35 <d42> ~kind of ,_,

01:36 <d42> as in you can extrude something else over it and do the difference op

01:36 <jadew> hmm, that could work

01:36 <jadew> thanks

01:37 <d42> but my intuition tells me it's going to bite you at some point and it's better to do an assembly :^)

01:46 <jadew> how do I create a difference?

01:47 <jadew> found it

01:52 <jadew> also, any idea what's the trick with the scene rotation? it seems like it changes the reference point during rotation (before I release the mouse)

01:52 <jadew> so if I make a complete circles with the mouse, the scene doesn't end up in the same position in which it started

01:52 <jadew> *circle

09:01 <whitequark> it doesn't change the reference point, but it doesn't guarantee that a closed loop with a mouse will get you in the same angles relative to axes as well

09:01 <whitequark> that's just the way it works
