If you're new to Blender, you might not know that you can actually edit two objects at once. This can be really handy if you're trying to line up two objects or make them the same size. Here's how to do it:
Select the two objects that you want to edit.
Go into Edit mode (press Tab).
Select the vertices, edges, or faces that you want to edit.
Press the W key and choose the "Bridge Edge Loops" command.
Move the mouse to create the new edge loop.
Press Enter to confirm.
And that's it! You can now move, scale, or rotate the two objects as one.
