Polygon Node: Move handles independently

PostTue Apr 13, 2021 12:40 pm

As the title says, I am trying to move a handle of a point independently.

This is what the manual says:
To break the relationship between direction handles and adjust one independently, hold
Command while dragging a handle. Subsequent changes will maintain the relationship, unless
Command is held during each adjustment.

I tried to hold ctrl while dragging a handle but nothing happens. I tried also to hold ctrl first then drag but it draws a selection rectangle.

Am I doing something wrong?

It works for me. In the images below, I created the Polygon, then in the second image I moved the bottom handle without the Ctrl key and both handles moved. I then held down Ctrl while moving the bottom handle and it moved independently.

Thank you, I found that it works if you select any of the previous points.
It does not work with the last created point while the polyline is still open.

Well this isn't acceptable and needs to be addressed by blackmagic. We need to be able to separate handles at creation or else it becomes incredibly tedious and makes you want to use any other software when you need to do the simplest mask

It would be nice if it worked like in Photoshop. There you can do it easily. also with the alt key you can delete one hand;e completely so that the next point after the Bezier curve is straight.
