Good to know

  • Type a length and press Enter to place the next point exactly that far towards the pointer.
  • Hold Shift while you draw to lock the direction of the edge.
  • Press Esc, or double-click, to end a line without closing it.
  • The Plane buttons in the tray choose the plane the line is drawn on, and N cycles through them.
