Hi all,

I created a body, and then another shape to cut through the first body. Everything went smoothly. I added some bevels and now I’m happy with the result - except I want to change the shape of the cutout. So I selected it in `History`, and then selected a point I wanted to reposition:

 ![ApplicationFrameHost_SPcV31BCSn](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/3X/d/d/dd4610062b1635443b256d77cf8899c726f5808a.jpeg)

Unfortunately, dragging the gizmo or clicking and dragging the point moves the entire shape. What I want, is to move the single point I have selected to a new location.

How can I accomplish this?

Thanks so much for any help.

Jay

if you draw tha shape without the poligon tool , i think it should work.

You can simply unlink the center of the polygon.
