# Editable Shape

An Editable Shape is a non procedural shape which can be created using the [Pen](/cavalry/user-interface/menus/tool-menu/pen-tool.md) or [Pencil](/cavalry/user-interface/menus/tool-menu/pencil-tool.md) tools as well as by converting any of the procedural Shapes using the **Shapes > Make Editable** command (`cmd/ctrl + e`). They can also be created via the [Toolbar](/cavalry/user-interface/menus/window-menu/toolbar.md) by checking **Make Editable Primitives** in the tool options at the top.

You can animate the vertices of an **Editable Shape** using keyframes and the [Edit Shapes tool](/cavalry/user-interface/menus/tool-menu/points-tool.md). Also known as path animation.

### UI

[Common Attributes +](/cavalry/nodes/shapes/common-attributes.md)

**Path** - once you create a keyframe any changes you make to the Shape's vertices will create new keyframes and the vertices will transform to each position between keyframes.

**Fill Rule** - 

* **Even Odd** - 
* **Winding** - 

**Onion Skinning** - toggle [Onion Skinning](/cavalry/user-interface/menus/window-menu/viewport.md#onion-skinning) on or off for the Shape.
