Drawing Methods

Giraffe offers 3 methods of generating building geometry:

• Rectangle: Start with a 90° rectangular shape. Great for regularly shaped geometry.
• Spine: Start with a single line. Great for long buildings or L- and U-shaped geometry.
• Irregular Shapes: Start with existing geometry and edit using the standard toolset, or start with a generic polygon and apply a usage later.

Rectangle

Click the tool in the draw palette, then select the Usage you would like to apply.

Click once to initiate the shape and a second time to define the width. Pull to specify the length. Click to end tool command.
