So now we're going to go ahead and finish up this sword blade and the easy way to deal with this here is to go ahead and triple click on this face that we've created. There we go, got everything and then we're going to go ahead and make that a component. And we'll just say Create. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead and pull this component over and I'm just going to drop it somewhere and say 10 feet. That way I can easily get it back to the origin and now I'm going to say Edit, Unlock, All and that's going to get rid of all the locks that we had on these various pieces of geometry so we can get rid of them and we're going to go ahead and grab our component, drop it again, say 10 feet and now it's right back in the origin where it started from. Now we're going to go in here, double click to enter into our component and we're going to start deleting out this geometry that we don't need anymore and there's a lot of it. So this is one of those situations where being clean and, oops, got outside my context. There we go. Being clean and paying attention to your details really does pay off in terms of your file size. There we go. One last one for right there and now we're out of the context and I think that looks pretty good and what we're going to do is we're going to say Edit, oops, not Cut. Select, Edit, Copy. There we go. Grab the Scale Tool, grab our middle, pull over till it snaps to negative one, Edit, Paste in Place and then what we'll do is we'll select both of these. Edit, Copy, Control C by the way if you're inclined to use keyboard shortcuts, which is never a bad idea. Snap to a negative one, Edit, Paste in Place and, you know, that looks pretty good. I'm relatively happy with that. It's going to definitely save on memory being four components like this but I'll tell you right now, I'm thinking that this is a little too short and stubby so what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to go ahead and select this sword blade here and scale it and I'm going to make sure I grab by the middle bar here like so and then I'm just going to pull way, way up till it looks, looks good to me. Eh, something right around there. It's like that was almost three times the width. Alright. Everything looks still pretty good. Now, if you're not a big fan of this black line down the center look, then you know, you can easily just go ahead and explode these and make this one thing and the way you want to do that is you would just go and do something like Select All and then we would say Explode, take a second to calculate and we would go ahead and pull until that line softens and we don't see anything else and now we have our finished sword blade, just like so. Very, very easy to do but at the same time not something that's really obvious to someone who hasn't done a heck of a lot of 3D modeling before.
