Time	Narration
00:03	Welcome to the series of Blender tutorials.
00:07	This tutorial is about How to Change Window Types in Blender 2.59.
00:16	This script has been contributed by Bhanu Prakash and edited by Monisha Banerjee.
00:26	After watching this tutorial, we shall learn: * how to resize any window in the Blender interface;
00:36	how to toggle between different windows;
00:40	how to split the windows and merge them back together and
00:46	how to maximize any window into full screen mode.
00:55	I assume that you know the basic elements of the Blender interface.
01:01	If not, then please refer to our earlier tutorial-
01:05	Basic Description of the Blender Interface.
01:11	We have already seen different types of windows that are present in the Blender interface.
01:17	These windows can be re-sized.
01:21	Move the mouse cursor to the left edge of the Outliner window.
01:28	We see a double-headed arrow.
01:32	Now left click and drag your mouse.
01:37	The Outliner window re-sizes as the mouse moves.
01:45	Now, move the mouse cursor to the bottom edge of the Outliner window.
01:51	Again, we see a double-headed arrow.
01:55	Left click and drag your mouse.
01:59	The Outliner window resizes as the mouse moves.
02:07	This is how we can resize any window in the Blender interface.
02:14	Now, let’s see how to toggle between the different windows of the Blender interface.
02:22	Go to the left hand corner of the 3D view.
02:27	Here is a button with up and down arrow, displaying the current editor type.
02:35	Left click on the button.
02:38	A menu opens containing different window options.
02:42	This is Editor type menu.
02:46	This menu is present at the left hand corner of every window in the Blender interface
02:52	and is used to toggle between the different windows.
02:59	Move your mouse on the menu options.
03:04	For shortcut, you can use the up and down arrow keys on your keyboard.
03:12	Left click on UV/Image Editor.
03:16	The 3D view has changed to the UV/Image editor.
03:25	Left click on the Editor type menu again and select 3D view.
03:31	Now we are back to the 3D view.
03:36	So, this is how you can toggle between different windows using Editor type menu.
03:47	The default 3D view can be divided into 4 parts.
03:53	There are two ways to divide the 3D view.
03:57	First, left click View at the bottom left corner of the 3D view, next to Editor type menu.
04:07	Select the second option from the top that says Toggle Quad view.
04:13	For shortcut, press Ctrl, Alt & Q.
04:20	The 3D view is divided into 4 different views-
04:26	Top view, Front view, Right view and Camera view.
04:38	You will find this very useful when modeling and animating in Blender.
04:47	Press Ctrl, Alt & Q to disable the Quad view.
04:55	Press space bar and type Toggle in the search area.
05:05	Select the option Toggle Quad view from the list.
05:12	This is the second method for enabling the Quad view.
05:18	Press Ctrl, Alt & Q to disable the Quad view again.
05:27	We are back to Blender's default Camera view.
05:33	Apart from the five different windows which are present in the Blender interface by default,
05:39	you can also add new windows to the Blender interface by dividing the area.
05:46	Again, there are two ways to do this.
05:50	Let me demonstrate this in the Outliner window.
05:55	Move your mouse cursor to the three slanted lines or the (hatched) line on the bottom left corner of the Outliner window till a 'plus' sign appears.
06:07	Hold left click and drag your mouse to the right.
06:12	The Outliner window is now divided into two new panels.
06:19	Each new panel has its own set of tools.
06:26	Now, to merge the two new panels back together, we use the same method.
06:33	The right panel needs to be merged back into the left one.
06:39	Move your mouse cursor to the hatched lines at the bottom left corner of the right Outliner panel till the plus sign appears.
06:50	Hold left-click and drag your mouse towards the left panel.
06:56	The panel is shaded and a clear arrow sign appears over it.
07:02	Release left-click.
07:05	The two windows are merged.
07:10	Now, let's see the second way to divide the window area.
07:15	First, we will divide the Outliner window horizontally.
07:21	Move your mouse cursor to the left edge of the Outliner window till a double-headed arrow appears.
07:29	Right-click on the arrow sign.
07:33	Left click Split Area.
07:37	Drag your mouse to the middle of the Outliner window.
07:43	A horizontal line appears along with the double-headed arrow.
07:48	Left-click to lock the position.
07:54	The Outliner window is now divided into two new horizontal panels.
08:01	Just like before, each panel has its own set of tools.
08:07	Now, let us merge the new panels back together in the same way.
08:14	Move your mouse cursor to the horizontal edge between the two new panels till a double-headed arrow appears.
08:26	Right click and select Join-area.
08:31	Move your mouse over any one panel - top or bottom.
08:35	I am choosing the bottom panel.
08:40	The chosen panel is shaded and a clear arrow sign appears over it.
08:47	Left click the shaded panel.
08:50	The two panels are merged back together.
08:54	Now, try to divide the Outliner window vertically and merge the new panels back together again.
09:03	Move your mouse cursor to the bottom edge of the Outliner window till a double-headed arrow appears.
09:12	Right click on the arrow sign.
09:16	Left click Split Area.
09:21	Drag your mouse to the middle of the Outliner window.
09:26	A vertical line appears along with the double-headed arrow.
09:33	Left-click to lock the position.
09:36	The Outliner window is now divided into two new vertical panels.
09:45	Move your mouse cursor to the vertical edge between the two new panels till a double-headed arrow appears.
09:55	Right click and select Join Area.
10:01	Move your mouse over any one panel - left or right.
10:05	I am choosing the right panel.
10:10	The chosen panel is shaded and a clear arrow sign appears over it.
10:16	Left click the shaded panel.
10:19	The two panels are merged back together.
10:24	Now, let's see how we can re-arrange the location of different panels in the Properties window.
10:32	For example, we want the Layers panel to be on top of the Render panel.
10:40	Move the mouse cursor to the three slanted lines at the top right corner of the Layers panel.
10:50	Press and hold left-click and drag your mouse upwards.
11:00	The Layers panel moves to the top of the Render panel.
11:07	Now, let's see how to maximize any particular window or switch to full-screen mode in Blender.
11:20	Move your mouse cursor to any window.
11:23	I am selecting the 3D view.
11:28	Press Ctrl & up arrow button on your keyboard.
11:33	The 3D view has now been maximized to full-screen mode.
11:41	To exit from full-screen mode, press Ctrl & down arrow key on your keyboard.
11:48	We are back to Blender's default view.
11:51	This can be done to any window.
11:59	So, this is how we resize any window, toggle between different windows, split the windows and merge them back together in Blender.
12:11	Now, create a new file and try to toggle the 3D view into Quad view;
12:19	split the Outliner window and merge the new panels back;
12:27	in the Properties window, move the Output panel to the top of the Render Panel
12:35	and maximize the 3D view into full-screen mode.
