  • A short video showing you how to setup blender 3.0+ into millimetres (mm) for precision modeling and all your hard surface modeling needs. I'll explain quickly and clearly how to set up blender in millimetres to do precision modelling and with a few quality of life changes.

    I searched for "how to change blender units" and found your channel. The information in your videos are incredible and really practical. Thank you!

    That's how mine was set up. The only issue I have with it is floating point errors. Each default cube is now 1mm but still one internal unit, so large objects, or objects with large scaling values quickly start to behave strangely or generate floating point errors (example: you type in 30mm on the x axis dimensions and you get 29.87 instead). Make sure to constantly apply scale to minimize this. The CAD-Like transforms addon for blender also starts to quickly produce spazztic results if floating point errors are encountered.
    Another option is to learn to use an open-source or affordable parametric CAD software alongside Blender. There are things that CAD just does many times better and there's nothing stopping you from using both apps together for their strengths.
    Recommendations for CAD:
    - Alibre ATOM (The basic version of Alibre CAD, popular with small workshops and has most of the features you'd get out of the full package. At $200 it's fairly affordable. It's aimed at hobbyists and woodwork shops but is licensed for commercial usage.)
    - Free CAD (Free and open source, but buggy and not as polished)
    - Fusion 360 Personal (Only if you don't plan to sell anything you make. F360 has free licensing for personal use, I know a lot of people still like this.)
    - TinkerCAD (Never used it and seems pretty basic, but if it fits your needs then it's an option)
    There are probably others but those are the ones I know about. If you plan to do a lot of CAD-type work or sell things I'd recommend Alibre, it's professional software and will pay for itself in saving you hours of frustration. Alibre's interface asnd workflow are heavily based on Solidworks so the skills you learn transfer over well if you get a job with CAD later on.
    I learnt Solidworks in college but the pricing is absurd for the freelance or home user, same with most other industry standard CAD packages... >->

    Just want to say thanks so much for these tips! Especially saving the default startup file! Also want to thank you for ALL of your tutorials! Great stuff and made so that even fresh off the vine noobs such as myself, can easily understand and grasp! I've watched many (OMG sooooo many) others and I find your style to be the one that really works. You might speak a tad quick sometimes for a newbie like me, but that's what pause, rewind and replay are for, right? Lol! Thanks again, great stuff!

    It's bittersweet knowing that I can save my startup without a cube. I don't know how many cubes I immediately deleted..... and then re-added back in when starting. I like being able to set up everything like that without having to redo it every time. It gets old and I typically forget something.

    Funny, checking out the new CADSketcher your latest video was talking about. Had to come here to get the unit scale right since stuff wasn't quite right w/o it. So did all that made a CAD sketch via the wiki "getting started" section and noticed with all the adjustments I did the light and camera were nowhere to be found. Until I noticed they were in the hole of the part I made and like just a couple of mm from the world origin. Maybe I'll reposition them in the startup file :D

    Thank you that was a great solid setting up Blender. Wow, I wish Adobe illustrator has such capabilities, Blender is far more advanced in its organizational features. 👌
    I’m here because as a food packaging designer using illustrator’s 3D tools to create my mock-ups, it is not possible to create a model using a mesh tool or a gradient to export as an .obj file to use in Adobe Dimension. But I found myself using Blender. As of 2023 Adobe no longer support 3D in Photoshop. I will be looking at all your tutorials. And I subscribed.

    Thanks for the tut. However, after changing the unit scale to 0.001, the 2 meter cube becomes a 2mm cube. Is this really correct, or should the unit scale be left to 1?

    • @ytskt

      However 2mm cube is odd! You can replace it with a 100mm cube and save the startup file.

  • @PopcornSticker
    @PopcornSticker Před rokem

    HI YAAAALLL! I have this problem with the mm setup: I want to be able to work in MM, however scenes I make senes can reach up to 100 meters sometimes, so that is what I set my view cutoff to be. Unfortunately, after setting everything to MM, when zooming out, the Matcap and studio shaders are getting JITTERY, and my view is cutting off at about 10 meters, even though I set it to 100000 mmm (100m). It seems that Blender Viewport is just not designed to work like that. It is better to just keep it in meters and use fractions of it, f.eg. 0.001m is 1mm.
    That be it. I don't think blender is a good software for CAD like applications. Just buy a Rhino license. I's really cheap.
