A rectangle but the shape is of a different shape, can't format

May 29, 2014

Hi,

Is there a possible way to create a custom shape or any shape that is not editable in Storyline?

In a Story file that's been passed on to me, there is a shape that the timeline labels as a rectangle although it is shaped like a bucket. I am trying to edit or format this shape, however it just doesn't allow any editing. 

All other shapes can be edited and formatted but when I click this bucket shaped object it doesn't allow any kind of formatting. It makes me wonder how it is possible that a shape cannot be edited at all. 

Any kind of help or feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Regards,

Mark

HI Mark,

Have you tried 'edit state' at all. It sounds like someone originally had a rectangle but then changed it by going into edit states, removing the rectangle shape and inserting a different one. This is often what happens when you want to changes a shape but don't want to risk losing the triggers attached to it.

Hope this helps, if not, could you upload the file and I'll take a look.
