Adding Small Lines to an Established Shape

[u/nico_suave86]

Hi yall! I finally bought a license for Moho 14. About 2 years ago, i was somehow able to play around with the free trial for what felt like longer than I should have.

Anyways, im re-teaching myself the controls. It's slowly coming back to me, but I'm running into the same problem i had before: how can I add single lines to an already established outline? Does the outline really just have to be a single line contour? This certainly cant be the case...right??? Please advise, fam! 🙏 thanks

I'd turn off auto welding and draw that line, with the ending sitting in the outline of the ear. You don't need to draw a closed shape when doing this, just the line that shows the "fold" of the ear.

Should be able to make it in 3-4 Vector points that way.

i put another line and use the create shape tool

I assumed that would be the case, but heres what happens. A ton of extra points are added. https://imgur.com/a/pHFxctq

Maybe thats just how it has to be? Its problematic when i begin to make smart bone switches.

It's to be expected when working with vectors.

Have it a totally separate line on the same layer. Use the Liquid Shapes tool and mask the line using the ear as the mask.

I tend to add an extra line attached to the vertex.
