You can break apart an existing shape by calling newCurve() with a position in the middle of a series of vertices. Parameters positionInVertexList Required. Specifies the position in the vertexList at which the #newCurve symbol is added. Example These statements add a new curve to cast member 2 at the third position in the cast member's vertexList. The second line of the example replaces the contents of curve 2 with the contents of curve 3. -- Lingo syntax member(2).newCurve(3) member(2).curve[2] = member(2).curve[3] // JavaScript syntax member(2).newCurve(3); member(2).curve[2] = member(2).curve[3] See also curve, vertexList newGroup Usage member(whichCastmember).newGroup(newGroupName) Description 3D command; creates a new group and adds it to the group palette. Parameters newGroupName Required. Specifies the name of the new group. The name of the new group must be unique within the group palette.
