    When you model in Blender the 'Highlighted Points' in the X-Y-Z axis is your front side, the "Outlined Points" are the opposite, meaning your back side. In your course I wasn't sure if you knew that as you work on the "Minus" Axis for most the course (or at least the earlier chapters). Otherwise, the course is FANTASTIC! Thank you for making an affordable and effective learning journey!

    @@CyborKat Hi, thanks for your interest in my course 😁 The direction of the view labels when using the views shortcut key is indicative of which side of the object you are looking at, not the world orientation. Front, back, side etc. As noted in the course I use the view shortcuts primarily for orientation.
