I’d like to be able to make straight triangles that have two sides with straight lines, 90 degree angle

I’d like this too. At the moment I use a line and make one.


It is kinda hopeless that a basic shape like this is not present. At least make the triangle adjustable so that I can pull the corner to make it a right-angled.


Desperately searched for this feature today! In the end I found a workaround (that might also work for other kinds of custom shapes):

  1. Create the shape you want in a different tool that Miro can import - draw.io, Lucidchart, Visio, …
  2. Export the diagram from that tool (.vsdx export from draw.io worked for me)
  3. Import the diagram file you just exported into Miro - this will create a new board
  4. Copy & paste the shape you want from that new board into whatever board you actually need the shape in

Hope this helps the folks who might be searching for this in the future

Need this. Seems an oversight that this is missing.

This helps me to

  • make visualizations of charts especially, where you want something to increase or decrease over time and show what that amounts to 2D volume wise
  • “combine triangles” to “paint a background” behind an uneven shape, something current triangles cannot (they stick out). 
  • You can make almost any custom shape from right triangles! 

    It feels like a basic thing that should had been introduced ages ago.

This feature is usedul for me to quickly draft scaleable figures within my classroom mindmapoping work. In physics classes, this applies to illustrations such as inclined planes, area under a line curve, etc.

Any update on what seems like a pretty basic shape request?

Although a workaround is to add a right angled triangle .svg shape to your personal shapes library.

Only thing is you can’t change the colour 💩

I’ve had Miro/Realtimeboard for well over 10 years - how do we still not have a right angle triangle in the shape library as a standard object!!!

 

Seriously is there someone anti right angle triangle within Miro - a loud voice with too much control? Sure adding this would be a tiny job for one of the Miro team to add???

 

Making a case for a right angle triangle is like making a case for square’s and circles. Why do I pay all this money to Miro every year if its not going to cover something so basic.

Personally I have more need for right angle triangles than isosceles.
