So we're back in our scene here with our shelf, our cylinder, and our wall object, but we want to start making some changes to these objects. For example, maybe we want this shelf to be a little thinner. What we could do is something called entering Edit Mode. So the way we'll do that is by pressing Tab to enter Edit Mode. And now what you'll see is we have vertices all around our object. Now vertices are these little tiny points, so basically any model in Blender is made up of a series of vertices. Now you sometimes might want to select vertices, but…
