Continuous Chance Tool

When the Continuous Chance Tool is activated (when the continuous chance tool button is pressed) you can place a :ref:`continuous chance node<continuous_chance_node>` in the :ref:`Network Pane<Network_pane>`: Simply click the mouse somewhere within the Network Pane. When you have placed the continuous chance node the :ref:`select tool<select_tool>` is normally activated again. If you want to keep the Continuous Chance Tool activated (to create a series of nodes) hold down the SHIFT key while placing a node.
