Hey all,
First post, picked up the editor earlier and almost completed the Vault74 tutorial. Easy to understand and the tutorial was easy to follow :)
Im used to the Hammer editor and as such, the mouse+keyboard combination in the editor (I miss right click), is a little bit odd, can anyone show me a complete list of controls please?

Im new to FO3 editing but not new to mapping in general, some knowledge of Hammer and the F.E.A.R editor. Is there anway to either make a new Wasteland or modify it? If so how is it done?
Thanks for reading this (if you did) and I await your replies,

Mark.

Here are the keys from Oblivion. Its the same but Fallout has more.
But these are the basic movement type key combinations.

Shift + Mouse movement = Spin or tilt camera view.
V + Mouse up/down OR mouse wheel = Zoom in and out.

Objects:
Single Click object = Select one object
Double Click object = Bring up 'Reference' window on object.
Ctrl + Click object = Select and add/subtract objects to a Group of selected objects.
Click window and drag a box around objects = Select all objects contained fully in the box.

Selected Objects Manipulation:
Z + Left mouse + Mouse Up/Down = Raise or lower object
Z + Right mouse + Mouse Left/Right = Angle object East or West
X + Left Mouse + Mouse Up/Down = Move object on Y axis
X + Right Mouse + Mouse Up/Down = Angle object North or South
Right Mouse + Mouse Left/Right = Rotate object
Left Mouse + Mouse Movement = Move object in 3D world

B = Show/Hide cell Borders
M = Show/Hide Markers (Horse, door, map, x)

Thanks very much :) I will refer to the post when I get back to modding at the weekend, I found it a lot quicker and easier to use than most editors. Can you post a link to the keyboard mapping please? I did search for it on the wiki, but couldnt find it :( Also, I plan on making my work public, where is a good place to share my work? Fallout3nexus?
I guess Im to new to this to even consider editing the Wasteland, but Im a fast learner and can absorb stuff like this quickly :)
Also, does the forum have a rating system? I cant see one.

Hi mrme01, welcome to the forums. Here's a link to a list of the keyboard mapping pages on the GECK Wiki - http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/Category:Keyboard_Mappings.

To answer your other questions, Fallout 3 Nexus is a very good place to share your work, and this forum doesn't have a rating system.
