Grozev Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Hello guys, I've been having problems with something pretty simple regarding boolean operations. As you can see in picture 1, I want to combine those two simple vector shapes. When I select them and click "add" in the booleans panel, the result is what you can see on picture 2. You can see the nodes in picture 3, when I try to delete the inner circle, nothing actually happens. I mean it deletes it, but it becomes just another solid shape and that's not what I need. Picture 4 is when I tried to make another circle, convert it to curves and then try to subtract it from the original, now-solid shape, and all that happens is the same result from picture 2. Any ideas? I mean this is really basic vector operation and I've been having problems with things like this one... I get it that you'll probably never implement a proper shapebuilder tool, but at least fix problems like this one, it's just two shapes Thanks in advance. Edit: I changed the image, because it wasn't displayed properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before deleting anything, so set it just after doing the boolean operation. Cheers mate, that seems to have fixed it 🍻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catlover Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Although your question has been answered, here's an additional pointer you might like: If you're going to use the shape for creating a font, change the direction of the inner circle. In font creation s/w the "cutout" direction must be counter clockwise for it to show "empty". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
