Need help with Blender

[PaulFCB]

Hey guys, I couldn't find a suitable thread for posting help requests or stuff like that, so I hope it's okay to open a new one for that I just started trying to make my first own face and downloaded the cff-converter and blender for that. Now I finally managed to import the .cff file of the head into blender, where I want to edit it But first of all, no head was shown in blender and I could just find it by zooming out a bit. My problem is now that I don't know how to navigate to the head :/ Navigating to it with the arrow keys didn't work and when I tried to move to coordinate system to the head with the left mouse button, I just draw those light grey lines, like shown in the picture below :/ I know that sounds like a damn stupid question but I would really appreciate and help on that, cause I'm just a beginner

A blender is a kitchen and laboratory appliance used to mix, puree, or emulsify food and other substances. A stationary blender consists of a blender jar with blade at the bottom, rotated by a motor in the base. The newer immersion blender configuration has a motor on top connected by a shaft to a blade at the bottom, which can be used with any container.

I hope this helps.

Most important key combinations in blender:

control + mouse roll and shift + mouse roll: move
right mouse click: select
b: select a part
a: select all

just experiment and you will see what i mean

@Sir Sir_Didier_Drogba: Haha, great

@aeh1991: thanks a lot, that was exactly what I was looking for

Sorry for annoying you guys but I'm still struggling with Blender :/ Because the nose of my model is too long, I tried to make it a bit shorter. Like aeh explained previously, I marked the whole nose with the b-button, what worked pretty well I guess.

Now I pressed somewhere at the nose with the left mouse button and tried to pull it up this way. But unfortunately, this didn't worked as expected, like you can see on the following picture xD

Any thoughts of what I'm doing wrong? How can I move objects up/down, left/right, inside/outside, etc :/ I just found one good Youtube video, but it was an italian one, so I couldn't understand anything

dont use left button. use the arrows (green, red, blue)

 

[PaulFCB]

When I try to drag the arrows with the left mouse button, it still just moves this way

you should use for this, the sculpt mode, it's easier to move big things, you only grab it and move it with x-symmetry activated:
