Simple Circle Shape Question.

Post by LeeHasPencil »

I draw a perfect circle with 4 points. How do I add a point, to draw a line through the circle, without interrupting the circle shape?

It's probably not possible by definition but I'm curious.

You can add the initial point on top of one of the points of the circle and then the other point that would be the end of the line on top of another.

This can work if you want the line to be totally vertical or horizontal, but if you dont want this, then go to:

-Script
-Draw
-Splite curve and insert 3 or a higher number, this will add more points to the shape of the circle.
Now you can add the point of the line on any part of the edge of the circle and it wont deform.
