Popular Post Peter Vandewalle Posted September 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2022 While editing a polygon or a polyline with the Reshape tool , the user can add vertices to the polygon/line using the Add Vertex Mode . So far so good. Now I'm not exactly a newbie in Vectorworks but I never found a way to choose wether the new vertex will be created at the left or the right side of the vertex I just clicked. I know this is not an issue as long as we stick to straight edges polygons. In that case you'll just start from a midpoint. But when the vertices are bezier or cubic, there seems to be no way to choose a side. Does anybody have a clue? Or are we all just struggling with this issue and do we need a solution from Vectorworks inc.? 5 Quote Link to comment
MullinRJ Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Hi @Peter Vandewalle, This problem has been on the books for over two decades. Never addressed and likely never will be. I have given up hoping it will ever get attention. Apologies for my negative tone, but reading your post opened an old wound. I'll go back to my cave now. Raymond 3 Quote Link to comment

Andy Broomell Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 It should be improved such that you can click anywhere on the polyline (not just on an existing blue handle) to add a new point. This is how it works in most other competent vector editing programs, and would solve the issue raised by @Peter Vandewalle. There are numerous improvements that should be made to basic 2D reshaping, such as indicating the different vertex types with different handle shapes: 2 Quote Link to comment
