Dimensions not shown under Transform panel I am unable to find where you can type in the dimensions of an object. Scale, transform etc are all there but not dimensions. I am trying to edit the active object under the Properties/Data menu. I can successfully scale the object but I need to be able to type in values. I found this question but the answer did not help, i.e. that you had to be in Object mode.  It does not matter if I am in Object or Edit mode. I am using 2.91. I guess I'm doing something daft or missing something so please take pity :-)
Where did object dimensions go in 2.8? Anyone seen this panel? Essential for precise modeling.
Replacements for switch statement in Python? I want to write a function in Python that returns different fixed values based on the value of an input index.    In other languages I would use a switch or case statement, but Python does not appear to have a switch statement.  What are the recommended Python solutions in this scenario? Note: This question was asked at a time when C# did not yet support optional parameters (i.e. before C# 4).  We're building a web API that's programmatically generated from a C# class. The class has method GetFooBar(int a, int b) and the API has a method GetFooBar taking query params like &amp;a=foo &amp;b=bar.   The classes needs to support optional parameters, which isn't supported in C# the language. What's the best approach? According to , weight decay (regularization) is not usually applied to the bias terms b why?  What is significance (intuition) behind it? Is there an easy way to log all commands executed, including command line arguments? I am trying to find how to log a specific instantiation of rrdtool to see whether the path it is receiving is incorrect.  I know I could wrap the executable in a shell script that would log the parameters, but I was wondering if there was a more kernel-specific way to monitor for that, perhaps a filesystem callback that sees when a particular /proc/pid/exe matches a given binary? Why does the weighing balance restore when tilted and released I'm talking about a Weighing Balance shown in the figure:    Press &amp; Hold on onside of the horizontal beam and then release it. It makes some oscillations and comes back to equilibrium like shown in the figure.  Both the pans are of equal equal masses. When the horizontal beam is tilted by an angle using external force, the torque due to these pan weights are equal in magnitude &amp; opposite in direction. Then why does it come back to it position? What's making it to come back? I want to split a long equation in many lines I have a long line in equation. I want to split it properly in two or three lines. I've been using \begin{split} and \end{split}, but still it is not in good position. The equation's code is below.  \begin{equation} \begin{split} \frac{r(r-1)c_{0}}{z} + \\ &amp;  \sum_{0}^{\infty}[[(j+r)(j+r+1)c_{j+1} - [(j+r)(j+r-1) - l(l+1)]c_{j}] \\ &amp;= 0, \end{split} \end{equation} Function $f(z)$ is holomorphic at least within the unit disk.   If for all arguments $|z|&lt;1$ we have $|f(z)| \le 1$, and there exists a zero of order $n$ at $z=z_0$, then show that $|f(0)| \le |z_0|^n$.  How should I tackle this problem? Can it be generalized if for $|z|&lt;R$ we have $|f(z)| \le M$ ?    So far I only understand that there exists a holomorphic $g(z)$ with $g(z_0) \ne 0$ such that $f(z) = (z-z_0)^n g(z)$,then $|f(z)| = |z-z_0|^n |g(z)| \le 1$ and moreover $|f(0)| = |z_0|^n |g(0)|$, but that doesn't seem useful since apparently I know too little about $g(z)$. In particular why should $|g(0)| \le 1$? Show that both mixed partial derivatives exist at the origin but are not equal $$f(x,y) = \begin{cases} \displaystyle \frac{xy(x^2-y^2)}{x^2+y^2} &amp; \text{if } (x,y) \neq (0,0), \\ 0 &amp; \text{if } (x,y) = (0,0). \end{cases}$$ I tried finding both mixed partial derivatives but they ended up being the same for that function. I must be failing to take into account something dealing with the fact that it is piece-wise. I still need to show the mixed partial derivatives exist. How can I do all of this? Preposition before noun phrases I have asked the same question in ELL stackexchange, but unfortunately haven't received enough answer/comment. The one answer I got is not satisfactory. So that's the reason I am asking it here again. .  I have seen in some cases prepositions are omitted before some noun phrases. And it's explained that those phrases are actually an adverb phrases. But I know a simple thing. If the head of the phrase is a noun, it's a noun phrase. If the head of the phrase is an adverb it is an adverb phrase. For example -   Look both ways before crossing the road. [both ways is a noun phrase, where the head is ways, but still there is no preposition.]  He approached me in a friendly way. [a friendly way is a noun phrase, where the head is way, but as expected unlike sentence #1 it's preceded by the preposition in. And I have never seen this phrase is used without a preposition. I believe dropping the preposition is wrong, according to the grammar.]  She made a pickle a different way from her mother. [a different way is a noun phrase, where the head is way, but strangely there is no preposition before it. But I have seen examples of a different way used both with prepositions and without prepositions. I think the preposition here is optional.]    Now from these example sentences I have tried to demonstrate my problem/confusing area. My question is - 1. When a noun phrase is used as an adverb phrase? 2. When before a noun phrase the placement of preposition is obligatory (like sentence #2)? And where it's optional (like sentence #3)? And where placing the preposition is wrong (like sentence #1)? How is it possible that Dumbledore worked on the Philosopher's stone with Flamel? I apologize in advance if this is a common question, I searched for "flamel" here first and couldn't find the answer.  If Nicolas Flamel is several hundreds of years old, how did Dumbledore work on the Philosopher's Stone with him? Did he use it a bit himself?  To clarify, Flamel would've died without the PS, at a reasonable age -- so it can be assumed he made it about ~500 years ago. But I seem to recall the book saying that Dumbledore helped him make it. So either Dumbledore used the stone as well (unlikely it seems) or Flamel had already artificially extended his life, or Dumbledore is somehow hundreds of years old.  Am I remembering this incorrectly?  Thank you! Is it possible to unwrap materials made in Vertex Paint?

Screenshot: Filtered Questions Asked By Accepted Answer/ No Accepted Answer I think it's helpful if we can go to a page and view all our own questions that   Does not have an accepted answer, and/or Does not have an answer yet.   The reason I asked for them is because, I sometimes need to review through all the questions, and pick those that don't have proper answers so that I can perform further operations on them ( such as offering a bounty, or accept an existing answer).

Execute function when post is published I try to use this function i have created when a post is published for the first time.  function a_new_post($post){   $post_id = $post-&gt;ID;    if ( !get_post_meta( $post_id, 'firstpublish', $single = true ) ) {       // ...run code once       update_post_meta( $post_id, 'firstpublish', true );   } } add_action( 'draft_to_published', 'a_new_post' );   I can't see anything wrong with it, but when i try to create some sample posts i check the database and the field "firstpublished" has not been created.  Does anyone see anything wrong?
