4. Type 5

5. Press RETURN to finish the transformation

That will move your object five units on the X-axis. You can also use

negative values by typing -5 to go in the opposite direction.

With the scale, you have to use a factor to control object sizes. For

instance, a factor of 1 means 100% of the object size. If you want to

increase the size by 50%, use a factor of 1.5 for the scale. To reduce the

size by 30%, use 0.7 as a factor.

The sequence to increase the size in 50% would be:

1. Select an object

2. Press the S key to start a scaling transformation

3. Type 1.5

4. Press RETURN to finish the transformation

Notice how we did not constrain the scale to any axis in the sequence,

but you could also press a key corresponding to an axis after the S key.

Tip: You can use either the Sidebar of your 3D Viewport or the Object

Properties tab at the Properties Editor to change those values. But,

editing with keyboard shortcuts will be much faster.

2.3 Undoing and Redoing in Blender

How to undo a transformation in Blender? Like most softwares, we also

have an Undo option in Blender, which you can use with the CTRL+Z
