Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Assign a new material to it then lower the transparancy, or use X-ray

Isn't easier to assign a layer to it and then press in the empty square so it becomes a T.
