Affinity Designer: Creating "sun rays"

[panjakrejn]

As you can see in the image, I have two shapes in Affinity Designer. I want to duplicate the small thin triangle all around the oval so that the gap between each triangle and the oval remains the same and the triangles all point away from the oval.

I have no idea how to do this. Do you?

Create the set of triangles with the Cog Tool.

Thanks, will try those.

Yet another option and one that enables the rays to be edited en masse, is...

1. Create a circle
2. Draw the thin ray triangle and move it’s rotation point to the centre of the circle
3. Make the thin ray triangle a symbol this enables the rays to be edited en masse
4. duplicate the thin ray triangle and move 10º then Press CMD (⌘) + J on Mac, Ctrl + J On Windows) to power duplicate until you have completed a full circle
5. You can now group the rays and the circle to distort it into an oval

If you wish to edit the rays just open any symbol on the layers panel and edit the thin ray triangle, you can add objects into the symbol to make interesting designs or distort the thin ray triangle to create funky rays.
