Can't we just not mess with the default settings unless there's a
really, really good reason to change something?
Seems like every time I want to model something I have to go poking
around to figure out how to turn on/off something so it was the same
as the last time I used blender and some of

Hi Devs (and curious people on the list like myself),

continuous grab works terribly with a graphics tablet... a dangerous
default unless it can be made smart enough to know what kind of input
it has and act accordingly...

There are fair reasons for each one of these
*Trackball Rotation* instead of Turntable *(used to be this way)*
really ? you are sure people does prefer Trackball ?
Disable/Hide the *3D manipulator* (clutters 3DView and is bad practice
for starters)
Why is it bad practice ? actually becareful to not make things frustrating
for starters
I really think its a bad idea to disable the 3d manipulator. People who
don't like it can disable it if they want, but it should be on, imho, as
Blender is a modelling application first and foremost.
All other 3d applications show it by default so I'm not sure why Blender
should be any
for bone positioning as it gives me a good
indication of placement and volume of the bone. This may very well just be me
of course though.

Hey!
Most of these are great! The only two that I would disagree with is:
1. Disable 3D Manipulator - even though I never use these I think they should
be on my default because the greatly lower the learning curve for new and
adoptive users.
2. Emulate 3 button mouse - I feel this should
My 2 bits: trackball has always gave me frustrations, because I ended
up looking on the scene lying on the floor/upside-down after every
view rotation :)
Manipulator is very useful, because you can see in what coordinate
system you'll be transforming the objects, or what direction the
object's
Thanks everybody for their feedback.
That's why I made the page and started the discussion.
3D Manipulator:
I agree it should be on by default.
Somebody proposed it and I added it to the list because in all the
courses I give, I find the students (even though I explain and write

In 2.49 and 2.5 the first thing I did to use Blender was to switch to
turntable. It isn't perfect for sculpting an texturing, since you loose
some kind of freedom, but otherwise i feel much more comfortable with
turntable.
But there is a second thing that i always change. I switch the preset

I would agree with this. Even though it'll wreck havoc on my muscle memory it
makes sense to me!

Hello,
One good use of defaults is to encourage discovery of differing options.
Starting with an option on, even if it is later turned off at least
shows a new user that the option exists.
For this reason, not only would I keep the 3D manipulator enabled, but I
would also turn all three
Hello,
Yes, please to:
- Continuous grab. I would change it for 3D views so the mouse doesn't
wrap inside the area but inside the whole window, but it's not
important.
- Auto-Perspective, and I'd also improve a little known feature where
you can press alt when rotating: it should be using this
And further to my earlier comment, I would similarly start with
multiple layers visible as well, probably some subset like layers
one through five. Having this the default would not affect anyone
that knows Blender, but would show a new user that multiple
layers can be visible simultaneously.

Hi,
Trackball vs Turntable:
I've always preferred turntable over trackball, and was responsible
for the changeover in 2.60. IMO, 99% of trackballs out there are
completely unusable as they are far too sensitive to vertical mouse
movement, making it far too easy to accidentally tilt the view in

Put me down to as saying this is a horrible idea.
