Draw & Edit

10 topics

  • Draw a Curve (Precision)

    Touch · Apple Pencil · Keyboard

    Drag precise line and arc segments that chain into an exact profile.

  • Pen Tool

    Touch · Apple Pencil · Keyboard

    Drag once and the Pen lays down a single smooth, even curve.

  • Freestyle Sketching

    Touch · Apple Pencil · Keyboard

    Sketch loose, expressive strokes — and let a closed loop fill itself with colour.

  • Apple Pencil Mode

    Touch

    The Pencil draws while one finger orbits — two instruments working at once.

  • Brush Size & Colour

    Touch · Keyboard

    Set stroke thickness with the slider and pick any ink colour before you draw.

  • Create a Surface

    Touch

    Close a loop of curves and uMake fills it with a surface automatically.

  • Sketch Planes

    Touch

    Aim the invisible sheet your strokes land on, pin it in place, and save it for later.

  • Sketch on Surface

    Touch

    Draw directly on a 3D surface and your strokes wrap to its shape.

  • Text Tool

    Touch

    Place text on the canvas and style it like any other object.

Select & Organize

10 topics

  • Select & multi-select

    Touch · Keyboard

    Pick out one shape with a tap, or gather several at once with the lasso.

  • Move, rotate, scale

    Touch

    Move, rotate and scale any selection with the handles on its selection box.

  • Undo & redo

    Touch · Apple Pencil · Keyboard

    Step backwards and forwards through your changes from anywhere on the canvas.

  • Copy, paste, duplicate

    Touch · Keyboard

    Split an exact copy off any selection and place it right where you want it.

  • Groups & ungroup

    Touch · Keyboard

    Combine shapes into one group that moves as a unit, and take it apart again.

  • Layers

    Touch · Keyboard

    Organise your design onto layers you can hide, lock, fade and reorder, and gather them into collections.

  • Snapping & symmetry

    Touch · Keyboard

    Let points click onto the grid, and mirror everything you draw across an axis.

  • Pivot

    Touch

    Move the pivot point so rotation and scaling swing around exactly the spot you choose.

  • Edit a group

    Touch · Keyboard

    Step inside a group to edit its members individually, then step back out.

  • Components

    Touch · Keyboard

    Turn a shape into a reusable component whose linked copies all update together.

  • Extrude

    Touch · Keyboard

    Pull a flat closed curve or surface straight up into a solid shape.

  • Push & Pull

    Touch

    Push a face in or pull it out to reshape a solid directly.

  • Revolve

    Touch · Keyboard

    Spin a profile curve around an axis to build a symmetrical 3D form.

  • Mirror

    Touch · Keyboard

    Reflect a copy of your shapes across the X, Y or Z axis.

  • Array

    Touch

    Repeat a shape in a line, circle or grid with even spacing.

  • Offset

    Skin a smooth surface between two or more profile curves.

  • Split Surfaces

    Touch

    Draw a curve across a face to divide it into separate surfaces.

  • Project Shape

    Touch

    Conform a flat grille or pattern to a curved body.

  • 3D Text

    Touch

    Turn text into a real 3D object you can model like any other shape.

  • Mesh Editing

    Touch · Keyboard

    Edit a mesh face by face: select, move, extrude and delete its geometry directly.
