    New PolyShape and Edit PolyShape tools

    To create custom shapes, use the New PolyShape tool. Draw a 2D shape with as many points as you need, then extrude it to 3D. You can continue to edit the shape once you've extruded it to make it more complex.

    Tip: To subdivide a face, refer to The Cut tool.

    Create a PolyShape

    To create a new PolyShape:

    1. Activate the New PolyShape tool in one of the following ways:

      • In the Tools overlay, select New PolyShape.
      • In the main menu, go to Tools > ProBuilder > Editors > New PolyShape.

      For information about the PolyShape Settings panel, refer to PolyShape Settings panel.

    2. Draw points in the Scene view to create the 2D outline of the shape. To help you draw in an exact location, use Snap to Grid.

      Tip: You can add shapes next to each other, but they stay separate objects. To merge them, use the Merge Objects tool.

    3. When you connect the last point to the first point, you can extrude the shape to create a 3D object.

    The New PolyShape tool stays active until you deactivate it, so you can create many shapes in a sequence.

    Edit a PolyShape

    To edit an existing PolyShape:

    1. Select the PolyShape in the Scene view.
    2. In the Tools overlay, set the active context to ProBuilder.
    3. In the Tools overlay, click Edit ProBuilder Shape to:
      • Move existing control points.
      • Delete control points. Select a point and press Backspace (macOS: Delete).
      • Click along the perimeter line to add new control points.
      • Click and drag the handle in the center of the mesh to set the height.
