Edit rounded rectangle shapes - corner radius

In Flash, you can set the corner radius on rounded rectangles. I'm looking for similar functionality and I don't see the option to change the amount of rounding at the corners. Does it exist in SL?

  • while there's not a field to change it in the "format shape" dialog (ala Flash), you can click/drag the yellow diamond icon on the shape itself and adjust the rounding to your liking. Just an FYI for those, like me, that don't see it.

      Hi Emilio,

      Thank you for reaching out! 

      Another option that I hope will help is to uncheck the Snap to options under the grid and guides menu:

  • I can't seem to change the curve radius of a speech bubble shaped text box, any tips?

  • Hi Libby,

    Changing the curve radius of textboxes would be a great way to create unique shapes in your course! Currently, that feature doesn't exist in Storyline. A feature request has already been submitted for this. I'm going to add your voice to that request. If this request makes it onto our feature roadmap, this conversation will be updated.

    Outside of Storyline, you can build your unique shapes in Photoshop or Illustrator and import them as pictures.

    I hope this helps you out!

    PLEASE add this feature!  By the way I just Googled how to do this and even AI THINKS we can. Apparently AI doesn't know everything.  My two cents when SL gets around to this is we need a "Global" checkbox and the option for setting individual radius.
