So if you needed to play the whole chord you'd just shift position and go for the E or A shape. The D shape is in between in difficulty for new fingers but because only 4 strings sound rather than 5 or 6, isn't quite so strong/powerful (IMHO). (You could sound 5 strings by adding the 5th on the A string if you wanted to though, but then the chord voicing is the 3rd inversion).
With a knowledge of the intervals of the major scale associated with each of the 5 shapes, and how chord formulas work, it's possible to quickly work out any chord, even if you encounter one you're not familiar with.
What I *do* do is visualize the chord shapes over the relevant scale shapes.

if I want to play E major 1st inversion (or E/G# as some call it), it's a C shape: 4 7 6 4 5 4.
And if I want an A 1st inversion (A/C#), I play x 4 2 2 2 x, which is basically a simple G shape without the top or bottom strings.
They're both easy chords and completely invaluable, at least for what I want to play.
