-when we want to select objects it is going to be immensely important to eyeball the name of the object in the modify panel. sometimes clicking on objects in scene is not getting me the actual object. sometimes i get a "physical camera" in the viewport." either click on the specified object listed in layers panel. or drag cursor over object as much as you can to get it listed in the object slider.

-adjust pivot only if you aren't seeing that object is being transformed. (located under hierarchy in adjust pivot slider) -when you are rotating we are always using precentage snaps toggle for accuracy and professionalism

-Select attach while ctrl-clicking objects \ -group/ungroup to preview
