Shape Tools

 

 

Shape > Spline [6]
The most basic primitive. This is the building block upon which all other shapes are based.

1. Click Shape in the main tool palette.
2. Click Spline in the lower tool palette.
3. Click in any window to enter drawing mode and start drawing. The first click defines the position of the first vertex. Each subsequent click will define the next vertex in line.
4. Double click to add the last vertex and exit drawing mode, or click on the first vertex to close the shape and exit drawing mode.
5. Use Window > Object Info to name the object. Naming objects now makes them easier to select from the command line. This is nice when dealing with a large scene.
