firstdefence Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 another way to do this is to use the donut tool shape creation using donut tool.afdesign Saved with history so you can jog back and forth in the history panel. pmi 1 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

pmi Posted January 20, 2020 Author Posted January 20, 2020 I have tried to break curves with boolean operation, Unfortunately it didn't work. Is there an adequate example? Registrazione schermo 2020-01-20 alle 13.33.56.mov Quote
firstdefence Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 What you will need to do first is expand the stroke, then boolean add all of the circles together then use the diamond shape to cut into the curve, I'll make a short video.

firstdefence Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Try this instead: Circles.afdesign Saved with history so you can jog back and forth in the history panel. Basically run the history slider back and forth to see what I've done.

(technically, only the intersecting "diagonal" nodes need to be broken. It was just easier to do a simple box select in this case.)Edit: Uploaded a replacement vid where I go straight to Divide rather than from Xor to Divide (saving a click). But the forum won't let me delete the first vid. Actually, it lets me delete it (.... it's not in my uploads "folder" anymore), but it's still showing up in the post. Interesting . So disregard the second video space. break curves only 2.mp4 break curves only.mp4 v_kyr and pmi 1 1 Quote
