where can i download this free



[TeachMeDT]

@EpiclyRandom101 I'm afraid this cannot be downloaded for free and can be quite expensive to buy a single copy. If you are part of an institution (school/university) then they may be able to give you a copy.

Hi there! Yes if I understood correctly, there is a way to do that. If you draw your object then click on the symbol which looks like a hash, that is the contour button. You can create an outline around the object. If you highlight that contour and click on start edit at the bottom right of the page, it will turn it into lots of little nodes which you can move about, kind of like in the modifying objects tutorial. If that is not at all what you meant, I apologise! Please explain further!
