If you're trying to do some precise modeling in Blender and you're having trouble getting the results you want with the default editing tools, you may want to try out proportional editing. Proportional editing is a great way to fine-tune your models, and it's especially useful for organic shapes.
However, there's one quirk with proportional editing that can be a bit confusing at first: by default, the proportional editing circle doesn't appear when you're using the tool. In this quick tip, we'll show you how to enable the proportional editing circle so you can see exactly what's going on.
Once you've got the proportional editing circle enabled, you'll be able to see how your edits are affecting the surrounding geometry. This can be a big help when you're trying to achieve a specific result. So, without further ado, let's get started!

Q: Why is my proportional editing not working in blender?
A: There are a few possible reasons why your proportional editing may not be working as expected:
The Proportional Editing button (located in the Tool Shelf, under the Edit tab) may not be enabled.
You may not have the correct modifier key (Shift, Ctrl, or Alt) enabled.
You may not have the correct falloff mode selected (in the Proportional Editing panel, located in the Tool Shelf).
You may not have the correct object selected (in the Proportional Editing panel, located in the Tool Shelf).
Q: How do you turn on the proportional tool in blender?
A: There is no proportional tool in Blender.
Q: How do I adjust proportional editing in blender?
A: There are a few ways to adjust proportional editing in Blender. One way is to use the hotkey "O". This will change the falloff type between three different options. Another way is to use the Proportional Editing panel in the Tool Shelf (T). Here you can change the falloff type, as well as the influence distance and cursor size.
Q: How do you exclude vertices from proportional editing?
A: There is no specific way to exclude vertices from proportional editing. However, you can use the weight paint tool to paint the areas where you don't want proportional editing to affect.
