The progression

Every deck is graded 1 to 5: level 1 is the reflex core, the top level is where the specialists live. One move from each, so you can see how far it goes.

  1. Level 14 moves

    Grab and reposition an object in the viewport

    E

    The first thing you do to anything is move it, so it earns the shortest reflex.

    …and 3 more at this level

  2. Level 211 moves

    Cycle between Point, Edge and Polygon component modes with the cursor over the viewport

    macReturnwinEnter

    One key walks the three component modes instead of three separate toolbar clicks.

    …and 10 more at this level

  3. Level 319 moves

    Activate the Rectangle Selection tool

    0

    Straight-edge marquee for grabbing a clean block of components.

    …and 18 more at this level

  4. Level 420 moves

    Activate the Lasso Selection tool

    8

    Freehand loop for the awkward selections a rectangle can't trace.

    …and 19 more at this level

  5. Level 55 moves

    Enter Enable Axis mode to reposition an object's pivot/origin

    L

    Moving the pivot without moving the geometry is otherwise a menu dive.

    …and 4 more at this level

How graduation works. Drill until every move in the deck holds at ≥95% first-try, under 800ms median, across two separate days. Then the deck is done — and you get a certificate stating exactly that, plus a LinkedIn credential in one click.
