You can create three types of vectors: a polygon, polyline, and a keypoint.
Select the "Create polygon" tool by clicking on the polygon icon in the toolbar on the left, or by pressing the hotkey (g
by default).
Click in the perspective or orthographic view to add a point to the polygon (each click adds a new point).
Close the polygon by
double clicking (this adds a final point and closes the polygon) or by
clicking on the first polygon point (this closes the polygon without adding a final point) or by
confirming the object (hotkey space
by default) - this closes the polygon without adding a final point.
When holding Shift + F
node snapping is activated. This will snap the point you want to add to the nearest handle of an existing vector, within a certain distance threshold.
Select the "Create polyline" tool by clicking on the line icon in the toolbar on the left, or by pressing the hotkey (n
by default).
Click in the perspective or orthographic view to add a point to the polyline (each click adds a new point).
Close the polyline
by double clicking (this adds a final point and finishes the polyline) or by
confirming the object (press space
hotkey by default) - this closes the polyline without adding a final point.
Select the "Create point" tool by clicking on the point icon in the toolbar on the left, or by pressing the hotkey (p
by default).
Click in the viewer to add a point.
Select the vector you want to remove.
Press the hotkey (Backspace
by default) or click the trash icon next to the object in the objects sidebar on the right.
Select the "Select and edit" tool by clicking on the pointer icon in the toolbar on the left, or by pressing the hotkey (Esc
by default).
Click on the vector in any view.
Click on the object in the objects sidebar to select it.
Polygon. Hover over a polygon (the cursor changes to a "move cursor"). Click, hold and drag to move the polygon.
Polyline. Hover over a polyline (do not hover over the middle of a line segment, this adds a preview of a new polyline point - see Add a point to a vector). The cursor changes to a "move cursor". Click, hold and drag to move the polyline.
Point. Hover over a point (the cursor changes to a "move cursor"). Click, hold and drag to move the point.
Hover over a polygon point, a polyline point or a key point. The cursor changes to a "grab cursor". Click, hold and drag to move this point.
Select a polygon or polyline annotation.
Press Shift
and move the mouse close to a line segment.
Click to add this point to the polygon or polyline.
Release Shift
and move the point if necessary.
Hover over keypoint or a polygon or polyline point.
Press Shift
and click to remove the point.
Select the vector.
Open the category dropdown by clicking on the category name in the objects sidebar on the right, or by pressing the hotkey (c
by default).
Select a category by clicking on the desired category, or by using the arrow keys and pressing Enter
to confirm.
Select the vector.
Press the hotkey of the desired category (1
- 9
).
Press the hotkey (Tab
by default).
