  • Enter: Confirms and inserts the corner.
  • Right Click: Exits the Corners Tool.

How to Use the Corners Tool

  1. Activate the Tool
    Click the Corners icon to enable the tool. The cursor will update to indicate corner mode.
  2. Define a Corner
    • Click twice on the contour to set the start and end points for the corner.
    • A preview will appear showing the proposed corner based on the selected points.
  3. Adjust the Corner
    • Drag the points along the contour to dynamically reshape the corner.
    • The preview updates in real time, adapting to your adjustments.
  4. Apply the Corner
    • Press Enter to insert the corner into the contour.
    • The original geometry is modified to include the new corner.
  5. Repeat and Exit
