Drawing Shapes in Paint Builder

You can draw or insert a variety of shapes onto your Paint Builder projects, ranging from freehand drawings and lines to polygons and arrows.

To access the shapes available, select the Draw Shapes button from the tools menu. Then, select which shape or tool you’d like to use.

Shape types

Paint Builder offers the following types of shapes in the Draw Shapes menu:

  • Polygon: Draw a filled shape by connecting points you draw on the canvas.

  • Line: Draw a line path by clicking points you draw on a canvas.

  • Brush: Draw a freehand outline on the canvas.

  • Rectangle: Insert a rectangle shape on the canvas.

  • Circle: Insert a perfect circle shape on the canvas.

  • Ellipse: Insert an ellipse (oval) shape on the canvas.

  • Star: Insert a star shape on the canvas. After adding, you can change the number of the star’s points from the properties panel.

  • Ring: Insert a circular shape with an opening in the middle (like the letter “O”) on the canvas. After adding, you can change the inner and outer radius size of the ring.

  • Regular Polygon: Insert a perfect multi-sided polygon on the canvas. After adding, you can change the number of the polygon’s points.

  • Wedge: Insert a wedge shape — like a slice of a circle — onto the canvas. After adding, you can change the angle size of the wedge.

  • Arc: Insert a wedge shape — like a slice of a ring — onto the canvas. After adding, you can change the angle size of the wedge, as well as the inner and outer radius.

  • Arrow: Define points to draw an arrow shape on the canvas. After adding, you can change the width and length of the arrow’s pointer head.
