Guillem S. Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 It's a shame, but this kind of persisting errors make Designer unreliable for serious work. expand-stroke.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ELinder Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 In 3D apps any kind of boolean operation is messy. That's why there is also some kind of stand alone "merge points" function to merge co-located points. There's also a setting to change how close the points are that you can adjust before doing the operation. I wonder if something like that would be useful for these kinds of problems.

The truth is that the expand stroke option has been dramatically improved. However, a merge points option would be really useful. Even necessary sometimes. retrograde 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aammppaa Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 @Guillem S. I think the issue with your file is actually connected with the corner tool. If you Bake Corners you will find that there are two nodes on top of each other at the very bottom of the test tube. It is this bug that it confusing the Expand Stroke algorithm. I think Affinity are aware of this issue with the Corner tool, so hopefully a fix will emerge before too long.

I wanted to highlight that not all is awful, but the Affinity team have also made some improvements. Some kind words from time to time are important to encourage the team 🙂 Frozen Death Knight, MattP and Aammppaa 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted March 20, 2020 Staff Share Posted March 20, 2020 Thanks for the file Guillem S. Have you tried this in the 1.8.2 release? I'm still getting duplicate points, but the actual result is visually better without the line in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
