And with the pen tool to keep drawing out and adding more nodes onto the end of this existing path. But what happens if you have an open shape that you wanna continue? So we're gonna uncheck this box here, so that our shape now opens up.

And that covers how to add points in between existing points. So that tells me that if I click now, that point's gonna disappear. And if you can see there, there's a little negative sign at the bottom right of the cursor now. If you're using the pen tool, then all you need to do is hover over the point. With the subselect tool, you just click on a point or you select multiple points and then you just hit the Delete key. So what about how you delete points? Again, there's two ways to do it, with the subselect tool and with the pen tool. And while you can't work with handles like we went over before, sometimes it's just easier to click and drag a curve in order to get it just how you want it. That's telling you that if you click and drag now, that you can click and drag just this path segments to whatever curvature you want. When you hover over his midpoint here, you can see a little squiggly line at the bottom right of the cursor, it's like a tilde symbol. That's because when you click and drag on a line with the subselect tool, it has a different function. However, with the subselect tool you can click and drag to create curves like this. You just need to click a point in between existing nodes, and then you get a new node. Now the other way that you can add nodes is with the subselect tool, which you grab from this dropdown list here, or by hitting D. You have those same abilities to control what kind of a joint you're putting down. So this is just the same as when you're adding in nodes for the first time. And then you're gonna have the ability to change the curvature of the new node that you're adding in.

You can also click and drag, instead of just clicking statically. And if you click here, then you get a new node appear at the point that you clicked. But if you hover over a point just in between two existing nodes, then you'll see it shift. So with the pen tool, you'll see by default there's a teeny tiny little x down at the bottom-right corner of the cursor. You can use the pen tool or you can use the subselect tool. Now what happens if we decide that we're not happy with the number of node that are making up our shape and we wanna add some extras? Well, there's two ways that you can go about it. So just work out a quick shape, just any old shape. The first thing that we're gonna look at is how you can add extra nodes to your shape once you already have it in place. Now we are gonnalook at how you can do a bit more editing once you have those paths and shapes on your canvas. So far we've gone through how to work with path creation tools and shape creation tools. Hey, welcome back to Gravit Designer Quick Start.
