Moving/Scaling/Rotating Objects Along Axis:
Alrighty so you know that you can select an object and move it freely and scale them too, but for more controlled movement use the following hotkey combos!
Now to make something scale, extrude, rotate, or move along an axis press the letter for the axis after the command for whatever you're doing.
For example if you want to scale along the X axis do the following:
Press "S" key then press the "X" key, afterwhich you can now scale along the X axis!
Same goes for extruding or moving, like if you want to move an object along the Z axis do this:
Press "G" key then press the "Z" key, afterwhich you can now move the object along the Z axis!
Now what if you want to rotate/move/scale an object to a specific distance or degree?
Say you want to Rotate an object by 90 degrees along the Y axis:
Press "R" key then press the "Y" key. Now type 90 and press Enter and you have rotated your object by 90 degrees.
