hey there im using shake 2.51 for windows. i know its old but i figured i give it some practice and familiarize myself with shake's interface. However im running into a problem. im trying to create a rotoshape but for some reason the shape wont close. I used a quickshape node instead and i still have the same problem. is there a way to fix this?

If I remember correctly (it's been a while), 2.5 requires you you click on the edit shapes button to close a rotoshape, rather than joining the end and start point.

where exactly is this button located?

Under the viewer window where all the on screen controls are located. It may have a pic of a rotoshape with a spanner? Or with the word edit? My memory is shaky about the details - no pun intended

It's a shape with a spanner. Next to the shape with the +. At least that's what it is in 4.1

as far as I remember the button is called 'BUILD'... lower left corner (almost) below your viewport...?

yes its the 'build' button and when u click on it it will join the two endpoints and the button would change to 'edit'
