Set up:
You can also extract polygons into new PEP objects. For details, jump to: Merging, Combining, and Joining Polygons.
Suppose you want to create a door for a house. First, you'd use the cut
rectangle tool to define a new
polygon for the door:
But if you try to select and move this polygon, it will pull out the
points that define the front of the house. To move just the polygon
that defines the door, select it and click the chip off polygon button:
The result will be a polygon you can move independent from the rest of the house. Next, you probably want to rotate the edge of the door like a hinge:
For this you'd use the PEP Jack, a tool for rotating and scaling points and edges.
The Form New Polygon From Selected Edges is very useful when you use the draw
tool to create unique shapes.
Suppose you want to make a star shape to use in your scene.
