i have searched the forums to the best of my abilities and I cannot find a thread that talks about drawing 2D shapes. How do you draw say a rectangle example: rectangle x1,y1,x2,y2 to make something like this: ========== =..................= =..................= ========== ignore the periods or a circle example: circle x,y,radius are there commands like this? i could make a function of my own, however if there are already commands like this it would make it alot easier thanks!

DrawRect, DrawOval, DrawLine, etc? They're in the Max2D module, under Graphics.

Probably best to post topics like this in the BMax beginner thread.
