In this lesson, you will learn about three types 1
of rectangles in the contextual sketch environment. 2
The two point rectangle is the default option in the toolbar, 3
and has the keyboard shortcut R assigned to it. 4
You can work in four different orientations 5
once you anchor the first point, and you can also add dimensions 6
for precision. 7
Pay attention 8
how horizontal / vertical constraints are added automatically, and prevent you 9
from changing the shape of the rectangle unless you remove the constraints. 10
The three point rectangle means more work 11
if you intend to create a rectangle in the same directions that the two point 12
rectangle works, but it provides more flexibility and more opportunities 13
when you want to create a rectangle in other directions. 14
You can also lock the value after you place the first point, 15
which can be helpful depending on your design intention. 16
The center rectangle creates 17
a symmetrical value from one center point and one corner point. 18
I often use the center rectangle when I want to start a sketch 19
from the center point of the origin, and I want default construction planes 20
centralized in my design. 21
And that's it for rectangles. 22
See you in the next lesson. Thank you.
