I've created a square as a shape / shape layer. I want to know the size of it. I see the info panel has x & y info - but not width / height. Where do i find the width & height of a shape I've drawn? Many thanks - btw cs 5.5

      Why is no one mentioning that when you have (Bezier Path) checked in the op tool bar then your rectangle will not show size properties?

       

      And Adobe wtf lol, why, just why!

      Hi there, i think you don't need answer anymore but i leave my research here for another who get a same idiot problem like us. 

       

      When you create a shape from Shape tool or Pen tool, the size property will not exist. 

      But if you double click a Shape tool, it make a full size compose shape and the size property will exist in pathgroup.

       

      Event you use a shape tool, AE make 2 different closed path with name: Path and Shape Path -..-'.

        Hello Tamh,

        So funny i was wondering tonight the same question regarding dimensions of a shape and I found your answer from yesterday. You're fully right, depending if you created your shape by double clicking or not we can see the size property appaeared. I didn' t know this subtility but it's good to know. Thank you ;)!

        Hi Hunter, 

         

        I have found a reason of this issue. While choosing pathtooth, uncheck bezier path and all of the shape properties will exist when you create a shape.

         

        Regard,

        right click on the scale property inside the timeline, a window should pop up where you can change the units of measure and the dimensions.

          This is perfect, should be marked as the answer, simple and straight forward. Thankyou!

            you can see the properties in the timeline. just toggle the triangles down:

            Shape layers in Ae are very powerful but the interface takes time to get used to. you have to work in a small space in the Timeline and learn how to build hierarchies and be smart about your choices because you can loose orientation pretty fast.

            make sure you read through here:

              Roei - thanks you again for your help.

              I actually looked there (S) but only saw/now see the percentage it's at. FI- 100%.

              And you're not kidding about the Shape Layers. I keep feeling so dispirited by their complexity - so thank you so much for the help!

              I bet you wouldn't believe that I watched the Chrs/Trish Meyer Shape Layers video in it's entirety!

              wrote something and deleted it right back.

              this is what happened - you pressed S for scale and did not see the contents parameter. if you would toggle the triangle up and down you would see all the properties. also UU could get you there. thank you for showing me yet another way to get lost in the software.


              Well, a million thanks for you help and patience. I hope you weren't being sarcastic re:

              "thank you for showing me yet another way to get lost in the software."

              Tone can be hard to parse in text!

              And, if anyone can help you get lost in AE, sadly, I'm the one to do it, and I rule, supreme on that count.

              Thanks, Roei!
