IAmFenix Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Very new to Affinity. I tried searching the help files & this forum but am unsure exactly how to describe in textual terms what I want to do. Please forgive me my stupidity. In the attached file image I began by creating 1/2 the face then I duplicated it and flipped it horizontally. Then I successfully combined the two halves but as you can see there is still a line between the 2 faces. How do I get rid of it? I tried using Subtract from the Geometry menu that is grayed out (see the second image attached) Thank you in advance for your patience & willingness to help.

Staff DWright Posted May 10, 2020 Staff Share Posted May 10, 2020 Hi @IAmFenix, Is it possible to send a screen recording of your workflow as using the Add command should remove the centre line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenix it is clear that your straight line is not vertical as it gets narrower at the top., select the bottom node and using a single finger as a constrain on the screen move the node to make the line vertical.

Why does it matter if the line is straight or maintains the same thickness? #SincereQuestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You meant the two lines weren’t actually combined into a single line as I had thought they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 @IAmFenix I can confirm that you need to use Add (not subtract). If not perfectly aligned you may get a partial centre line. If that happens, just select the line’s end node and delete it. IMG_4041.MP4 Paul Mudditt 1 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).
