Star and Pie shapes not found

[Nandin81]

I just installed Affinity 2 on my Mac. I've searched everywhere, the tools "insert Star" and "insert Pie" are not found anywhere. They are definitely not in the utility bar on the left and on the top and if I try to personalise it, the icons are not there. Am I missing something?

Hi and welcome to the forums.

Click and hold on the shape tool in the left-side Tools panel that has a small triangle in the bottom right corner. A fly-out menu will appear allowing you to choose those tools.

The OP should also be aware that the Tools panel can be customized by selecting View > Customize Tools... (not Customized Toolbar...), including showing two or more columns & as many individual tools as desired. See https://affinity.help/designer2/en-US.lproj/pages/Panels/toolsPanel.html for a bit more about the various options for that panel.

For example, one of my presets for the Designer persona looks like below, where the Triangle tool still has the flyout menu for all the 'quick shape' tools, but the ones I use the most like the Ellipse, Rectangle, & Cog ones have their own separate buttons:
