Rectangle auto converts to polygons on certain modify operations


Bertf

Question

I find it the quickest way to draw a custom shape by starting with a rectangle and then adjusting accordingly. But now I always have to do the conversion first.

 

For example: When drawing a rectangle and trying to add vertexes with the reshape tool we first need to convert the rectangle to polygon before we can add vertexes:

Following operations don't work on rectangles with the reshape tool:

- Add/remove vertices

- Hide/show edges

- Change vertex mode

 

Is it possible to implement an auto convert to polygons when trying to do these reshapes?

 

Thank you,

Bert

Oddly enough, using the reshape tool to stretch the length or height of a rectangle will convert it to a polygon.  Which, ideally, it shouldn't, just as Pat says:

Yes, I agree. The Rectangle should automatically switch to a poly if the Reshape tool is used in such a way that it is no longer a rectangle. Manual intervention to make it a poly should not be required.

 

But, in the meantime, a rectangle can be quickly converted to a polygon by stretching one of if sides, or vertices, and then snapping it back to its original position.
