Rectangle and oval objects ​

Rectangles and ovals mark areas and spaces on the field. You can change the fill and stroke colors, their opacity, and the stroke width.

Placing a rectangle or oval ​

Choose (oval) or (rectangle) in the toolbar and drag on the field. The shape fills the area you drag.
  • Select a placed shape to resize it with the corner and edge handles, or rotate it with the round handle on top.
  • Shapes are added behind players, so they never hide players or the ball. To change the stacking order, see Changing the stacking order.

Rectangle and oval settings ​

When you select a shape, the panel shows its settings. Rectangles and ovals have the same items. With several shapes selected, changes apply to all of them.

Default oval diameter ​

  • Press "Save as default" to keep using that diameter from then on (Basic plan).
  • The same diameter is used when placing circles behind players.

Highlighting players with the oval tool ​

While the oval tool is selected, you can add circles based on players.

Clicking a player places a circle behind it. Dragging from one player to another places an oval around the two.
  • Click a player to place a circle with the default diameter behind that player.
  • Drag from one player to another to place an oval around the two players.
  • After placing, the tool switches back to the select tool. To keep placing, use repeat placement.

See Highlighting players with shapes for creating shapes from selected players. In the 3D view, shapes are projected onto the field. → 3D Ball, Markers & Shapes
