Moving the star points on a star-shaped polygon

After creating a star shape using the QuickShape Tool, you can reshape it to make the stellations shallower or deeper.

To move the star points on a star-shaped polygon.

1. Select the polygon or starred QuickShape to select it

2. Choose the QuickShape Tool

3. Drag on one of the 'inner' handles. The handle moves to stay under the mouse pointer. To just move the point in and out, hold down CTRL and drag towards or away from the center. To just rotate the point, hold down CTRL and drag the handles radially.

Tip

You can also change a starred polygon using the drop-down list on the QuickShape Tool Infobar. Choose Stellation radius and offset from the list and change the values in the fields on the right. Radius sets how far outwards the star points are and Offset sets their rotation.
