Square that builds

Mar 24, 2021

Hi,

I've seen this effect on some Storyline projects on here where a square builds itself around some text.  Don't know if that description makes sense but it looks like a great way to emphasize some text.  Does anyone know what I'm referring to and how to create it?

A couple of easy ways to do this are shown in the attached project. In the first slide, I added 4 shapes that are the box corners, and they appear on the screen at different times. The timing is adjustable in the timeline.

In the second slide, I added a box with a simple animation. 

It is possible that this is not what you meant at all, so let me know! If you wanted to do something like take the shapes from the first slide and have them reveal text as they are clicked, remember that any shape can become a button. You just add a trigger to the shape, and have it reveal the text.
