Qubicle Noob Question

[Wycroe]

Hey guys,
I just downloaded the $40.00 version of Cubicle and started playing with it, but I can’t seem to rotate the camera on the main desktop page…I know its a function because I watched a tutorial trying to figure it out.
Unfortunately, no go…
I also noticed that a part of my menu bars (there appeared to be 3 bars on the tutorial I watched, but I only have 2) are covered up by the actual drawing table and I can’t figure out how to resize that either.
I know these are total noob questions, but I can’t figure it out
Thanks for any help!

Edit: Got the menus thing figured out (all 3 tabs are now visible), but I still can’t rotate on the main tabletop to view different angles.

In relation to the specific questions … I’m unfortunately not versed enough in Qubicle to answer that, but I’m sure @voxel_pirate or another of our regular Qubicle users could offer some help!

Also, check this post, it’ll provide you with some great help when starting out

Qubicle: Tips & Tricks for beginners

Not having mastered anything yet by myself, still I think there might be some “lessons learned” from different streams and own experience, which are worth sharing. Feel free to add yours, if you have some good ones (happy to learn something new)! Just for the record… they are in no certain order and for sure for beginners only ;-). Tip 1 - Activate “Model”-Modus while having a Matrix active A picture describes this one best: [image] As you can see, if you active the checkbox titled “Model” …

Wow…Thanks!
I gotta say, I have been scanning the forums for a few days now, before I registered, and I have got to say you people are proly some of the friendliest I’ve “met”.
I can’t wait for December ($50.00 backer here) so I can start playing this game!

[Geoffers747]

Wow…Thanks!

No worries, that’s what we’re here for!

That’s a title @SteveAdamo and I are dilligently working to maintain … good to know we’re still giving off positive impressions!

… still can’t rotate on the main tabletop to view different angles.

@Wycroe… do you still have this issue? Rotating actually works by keeping the Alt-key and the left mouse button pressed and move the mouse… in general at least .

@Geoffers747 I think this post is a bit more helpful, as it is more structured:

Qubicle Constructor (Voxel-Editor) - Information, Links, Threads and Questions

Let’s try to gather relevant information about Qubicle, to provide a starting point for new “modders”. Qubicle what? Qubicle is actually called “Qubicle Constructor” and is a Voxel-Editor written by Minddesk. The brain behind this company is called @Tim and every now and then he shows up in this forum here. Qubicle is used by the devs of Stonehearth to create all the nice Voxel-Models, like settlers, animals, houses, environment and even the whole landscape. How much? There is a basic versi…

welcome aboard @Wycroe!

@Geoffers747 and @voxel_pirate have already given you some great advice… i would also point you in the direction of the (relatively new) wiki from minddesk… might have some other helpful advice for you…

good luck in your voxel adventures…

[Wycroe]

It certintly did solve the problem…I must have missed that somewhere, but the Alt-L Mouse button was what I was looking for!
Thanks Vox!

More than welcome… and feel free to browse the post mentioned above. I have to admit it is quite long, but might also have some hints and tips which can help you to have a faster start. QC is a nice tool and congratulations to your purchase .

I just downloaded the $40.00 version of Cubicle

Does this mean we might have another of the, somewhat rare, animator species amongst us?

[Geoffers747]

Ah, I knew there was another one somewhere!

I’ve pinned that thread Thanks for being awesome!

Welcome @Wycroe!

My first few minutes in Qubicle had me wishing for a quick tutorial. I watched this one and actually found it quite useful.

Good luck! Would be happy to see some of your work once you’ve got something to show us!

[Geoffers747]

Indeed, @voxel_pirate has uploaded many useful videos … I think they’re around the forum somewhere …

This old age is doing me no good.
