Overlap

When multiple points and edges overlap, it can be ambiguous what clicking will do. SmartShape adheres the following rules:

• If a control point overlaps a vertex, the control point takes priority
• If a control point or vertex overlaps an edge:
  • Clicking will move the control point or vert
  • Clicking while holding ALT will create new point on the edge
