First attempt at Shape Scripting ...

[Thelonius]

Experimenting. I wish to start learning how to modify a shape script. Say for instance the Archimate 3 Application Component shape script.

So I  follow the documentation to this point:
http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/14.0/modeling_tools/shape_editor.html

Where I see this panel presented:

At which point the explanation of what my options could be ends.

Before I can go any further, I need to pick a stereotype -- but I have no idea which one I should pick. Then I need to pick a base class, apparently.

Have I missed the documentation that explains how to proceed beyond this point?

Thanks in advance.

I generally just look in the MDG and find what they have extended.  It's also been discussed on the forum enough that you should find it by searching.

I think you can now also "redefine" a stereotype, effectively replacing the standard stereotype with yours.

I think this page in the manual explains it: https://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/14.0/modeling_tools/redefine_ster_other_prof.html
