Blender Day 22 : Blender22 duplication and stair example

Sure, you might be wondering if you can just duplicate the entire set of stairs. Well, you can! Just hold down Shift and click on each individual stair to select them all. Then, press Shift + D to duplicate the entire set. This is definitely a good choice if you want to create a longer staircase. Now, let's rotate it. Press 'R' to rotate and choose the Y-axis to rotate along. Let's try rotating it by 60°, but with a minus sign to rotate in the opposite direction. Press Enter to apply the rotation. Great! Now, let's move it up along the Z-axis. Click to select it and grab it along the Z-axis to move it up a bit. Hmm, it doesn't look quite right. Let's try moving it to the side instead. Maybe here. Ah, it seems like the degree of rotation is a bit too much. Let's adjust that. So, let's duplicate it again using Shift + D, rotate it using 'R', and this time, let's rotate it by 30° along the Z-axis, but with a minus sign to rotate in the opposite direction. Maybe let's try 45° along the Y-axis as well. Press Enter to apply the rotation. Now, let's move it up along the Z-axis. Click to select it and grab it to move it above the ground. And let's also move it to the side a bit. Okay, that looks pretty good. We have a decent set of stairs now. You can select the entire set and duplicate it again using Shift + D. Rotate it using 'R', maybe try 45° along the Z-axis this time. Oh, my apologies, not the Z-axis, but the Y-axis. Rotate it by 45° along the Y-axis, but with a minus sign to rotate in the opposite direction. Let's try 90° along the Z-axis as well. Press Enter to apply the rotation. Now, let's move it up along the Z-axis. Click to select it and grab it to move it above the ground. Ah, it seems like it's not aligning properly. Let's manually place it here. Grab it and move it up a bit. Okay, that's better. Now, let's check it from a different view. Press the number pad 7 to get an overhead view. We need to adjust the positioning a bit. Instead of grabbing along the Z-axis, let's grab along the Y-axis to move it up a little bit. Okay, that looks good. And we can also grab it to the left a bit. Alright, something like that. Now, you can continue duplicating the set to create a longer staircase. Oh, and if you want to make it more realistic, you can even add a pole or railing to it.
