# Create multiple shapes in the same layer

1. Select a shape layer in the Layers palette or create a new shape layer.
2. If you want to create a different type of shape, select a different shape tool.
3. Select a shape area option to determine how shapes should overlap, and then drag within the image to draw new shapes:
   Add
     Adds an additional shape to the existing shape. The combined shape will cover the entire area of the shapes you drew using the Add option.

   Subtract
     Removes the area where shapes overlap. The rest of the shapes’ areas are preserved.

   Intersect
     Shows only the area where shapes intersect. The other areas will be removed.

   Exclude
     Removes the overlapping areas in the new and existing shapes.
