I'm new to blender and I don't even seem to be able to extrude my faces straight down. I'm creating the base mesh for a shirt, but I keep extruding faces at different angles. Some help would be appreciated!

          Immediately after typing E (extrude), type Z twice: first to override the default direction (along the faces' normal), then to constrain the extrusion along the Z axis.



          enter image description here



              (E, Z, Z, move, Enter. Note "along global Z" on the bottom bar)



          To add on this: you can constrain to an axis - X, Y or Z - also the other familiar operations G (move), R (rotate) and S (scale).



          Similarly, Shift+Z constrains the transformation to all axes except Z.



          Finally, selecting an axis twice means that the axis local to the object's internal coordinates is used, rather than the global one.

            Thank you so much. It is a really frustrating learning process, but this certainly helps me a step further!

For the last 10-11 months, I am working in a research industry in France where my task is to debug C++ spaghetti code written over a period of several years by my current supervisor. It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day.

          Confectionery

          Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
