Creation Tools

Point Tool

Click in the 2D view to create a new point where you clicked. Remember to click on a selection tool when you are finished creating points, so as not to inadvertently add unwanted additional points.

Poly Tool

Click in the 2D view to begin creating a new poly. After you release the mouse button, move the mouse to where you want the second vertex, and click again. When you reach the location where you want to place the last new vertex, double-click. If you want the poly to be a closed poly, click on the original vertex. Or terminate the poly by double-clicking when you create the last new vertex, then click the Close checkbox in the Info Panel. (While the new poly is the only selected object, press Shift-Command-I to show the Info Panel, if it’s not already showing.) Remember to click on a selection tool when you are finished creating polys, so as not to inadvertently add unwanted additional polys.

Entel Tool

Click in the 2D view to create a new entel where you clicked. Remember to click on a selection tool when you are finished creating entels. You can change which kind of entel will be created by selecting the desired kind, then choosing Obj > Use as Default Object. Remember to click on a selection tool when you are finished creating entels, so as not to inadvertently add unwanted additional entels.
