Sketcher

PreviousAnimatorNextViewfinder

Last updated 2 years ago

The Sketcher lets you create new shapes and work on existing shapes.

See the topic for details but here we will just note that the basic operation is to click on a sequence of points in the scene to form a path: a closed path will create a new shape; a path across the face of an existing shape will cut the face.

  • Undo & Redo.

Note that Undo on the Sketcher will unwind a half-formed path before undoing anything else.

If you change tool before completing a path, the path will be discarded.
