The dock

The dock is the toolbar at the bottom center of the editor. Everything you add to a scene starts here.

1. Assistant: opens the AI assistant.
2. Shapes and drawing: shapes, lines, the pen and the brush.
3. Content: text, images, 3D models, vectors, icons, code, audio, charts, media frames, HUDs and bentos.
4. Scene: lights, a backdrop, particles, formations, generators and physics objects.
5. Organize: build a scene from a folder, group, adjust, instance, or clear the scene.

Hover any button to see its name.

Open a button's family

Many buttons hold a family of related tools. A small triangle in the button's corner tells you which ones.

To open a family, do one of these:

• Press and hold the button.
• Right-click it.
• Click the small triangle in its corner.

The family opens above the dock. Choose a tool, or press Esc to close it.

Draw a shape to size

Shapes, lines, text, particles and frames are drawn right on the canvas.

1. Click the tool in the dock. The pointer is now ready to draw.

2. Drag on the canvas to draw the shape at the size you want.

   • Hold Shift to make a perfect square or circle.
   • Hold ⌥ (Alt) to draw out from the center.
3. Or just click once to drop the shape at its default size.

The tool puts itself away after each shape, as in Figma. To draw another, click the tool again. To cancel, press Esc or click the tool's button again.

The tools that draw are Rectangle, Ellipse, Triangle, Sphere, Cylinder, Cone, Torus, Metaball, Line, Text, Particles and Frame. With Text, a click starts a line that grows as you type, and a drag draws a text box of a fixed size, whose words wrap. See Text.

Other buttons add their layer straight away, or open a file picker or a panel first.
