Hi @Sophie30497473pi4i,

It appears that you have  "Bezier Path" selected in the top toolbar when the Shape tool (Rectangle, Polygon, Ellipse, etc) is selected. This creates a Path group instead of the parametric Polystar group that would have the Points controls. Try deselecting the checkbox and recreating the Shape layer.
