Nodes not displayed

I create a square, deselect the square then re-select it. I click the nodes icon and no nodes show.around the square. I use the offset tool to create another square and those nodes show. Help.

Hello Tim

If you use Primitives you must convert them to path first

Not converted vs Converted

Thank you. What is a path and how is it different than a vector created with the create or draw tools?

This article should help. The built-in shapes are not paths natively and must be converted for Node Editing.

Ok thanks, I think I’m getting it. It also seems that if you use the Boolean assistant to merge two shapes lightburn automatically converts the shapes to a path.

You are right. That explains why I sometimes I had convert the primitives.
