Shape layer properties

The following properties are available for a shape layer in the Properties panel.

Transform options

Dimensions: Defined by Width and Height in pixels. The lock icon allows to preserve the aspect ratio and proportion.

  • When locked, changing the layer’s width or height will change both preserving its aspect ratio proportion on its latest locked dimensions.

  • When unlocked, changing the layer’s width or height will only change what has been changed.

Position: The coordinates of the selected layer on the Creative Stage defined by the number of pixels along the X axis (zero X coordinate is the left edge of the Creative Stage) and the Y axis (zero Y coordinate is the top edge of the Creative Stage).

Opacity: The measure in percentage of how opaque the selected layer is.

  • Opacity set to 100% will make the layer fully visible.

  • Opacity set to 0% will make the layer fully transparent, and as such, invisible.

Rotation: The angle of rotation for the selected layer. Rotations are relative to the center point of the layer, around a 360-degree arc.

Scale: Located under the Transform section, the Scale Property resizes a layer on the 2D plane. It changes the width and height at the same time, making it a great property to use with animations.

Color options

The following properties are available for an Shape layer in the Properties Panel.

Color Fill: The fill color of the Shape Layer.

Corner Radius

Width: The width in pixels of the border.

Color: The color of the border.

Border

  • Solid: Style of the border when it is a solid line.

  • Dashed: Style of the border when it is a series of dashes.

  • Dotted: Style of the border when it is a series of dots.
Shadow options

This option will display a shadow around the selected layer with the ability to change its color, offset coordinates, spread size, blur size, and inset setting.

  • Color: The color of the shadow.

  • Offset: The X and Y coordinates in pixels that indicate the displacement of the shadow.

  • Spread: The distance in pixels away from the layer that the shadow extends.

  • Blur: The haziness of the shadow. The higher the value, the lesser is its sharpness.

  • Inset: Switches the shadow from outside of the layer container to inside.
