This layer icon appeared as I was breaking out layers from AI to Moho....

What does that mean?

It means the layer is only composed of triangles, so it's a triangulated layer that can be used as a smart warp mesh.

Wow. That was not supposed to happened.

How do you triangulate a layer?

You can triangulate a layer using Draw>Triangulate 2D Mesh, but if a layer just happens to only have filled triangles, Moho will show it as triangulated too. It's no different from a regular vector layer. Just means you could use it as a smart warp mesh. If the icon annoys you, you can just add a little filled square or circle somewhere way outside the camera view.

Odd that only that layer came out looking like that. I must have accidentally hit the hot key for triangulate...assuming there is one?

No, it probably only has three-point filled shapes. That's all it takes.

There is no default hotkey for triangulate.

Ooooooh gotcha. That makes sense in regards to this particular vector shape.

Thanks, Wes
