Ask the Experts / The visual pathmaker.

I downloaded the visual pathmaker by buggy a while ago, and it didn't come with a readme or instructions. I saw all oth these paths online that said "created with visual pathmaker", so i gave it a try.

I couldn't do anything with it. All i could seem to do was take an existing path with supports and railings and change the color! I saw all these paths with designs and special effects online, so what am i doing wrong? How do i use this pathmaker? Do i need another tool? Please help me.
