Understanding what lies behind vertices, edges, and faces

You are progressing well. You've learned to navigate in the Blender world. You've learned to translate, rotate, and scale objects in the Blender world. You've learned to open the object and translate, rotate, and scale vertices, edges, and faces. You're really digging into Blender.
