How do I edit the points on a shape?

Hi Aaron,

I don't believe you can edit the points on the preset shapes. It could be possible with a freeform shape, but very tricky because the freeform shapes don't seem to have a lot of control either (as far as angle restriction, etc..). I would recommend building a png with 3rd party software. 

Thanks, Julia. That's was what I thought I would have to do.

Hi Aaron,

I just wanted to welcome you to Heroes and it looks like Julia was able to assist you. 

Aaron, you can always go into PowerPoint, pick a basic shape, edits its points, save it as a bitmaps and then import that bitmap into Storyline.

HI Aaron,

Just to add to Michael comments about Powerpoint, if the shape(s) do not come in to SL in the correct location or the correct scale (via cut and paste) and important they do, then put you shape(s) on a separate slide in powerpoint and import the powerpoint slide into SL - Click the (a) top left hand side of the screen and use the "import" to import that slide with your shape(s) on SL.

cheers

Garry

And just to add onto what Garry said,

I often create shapes in PPT....

In fact, a lot of times I take PPT Smart Art, mess with its format and convert it to shapes...

And then I save the shapes to .png files and insert them into SL.

So, rather than inserting an entire slide, I just import the PNGs

There are just so many shape options in PowerPoint. It is a real shame that we have such limited options in Storyline!

Hi Trav,

If you'd like to see more options I'd also encourage you to share your thought directly with our product development team by submitting a feature request. Please be as specific as possible about what you'd like to see to help them understand the need for these additional shapes. 

Just submitted a feature request for this. 

Thanks Pam, the more the better!
