Add function merge in isometric illustration

[Artyfarty]

im stuck on on part 2 where it says: Fill this new path the same as the Ellipse, select both and using the Add function merge them into one. It is from this website: twine.fm/blog/create-isometric-character-affinity-designer-try-software-free/.  Can anyone provide a video on how to do this or explain it better?

Welcome to the forum @Artyfarty 

The "Add" function the tutorial refers to is "Geometry Add" Layer > Geometry > Add

You can also use the top menu icons.

The tutorial does reference the top menu icons but they probably have monochromatic iconography set in Preferences > User Interface which makes the reference a bit vague visually.

Thanks for the explanation.  I have tried that but still isn't working.  When they say "Send this merged shape to back" do they mean click the button Move to the back? I tried that but isn't working.  I have attached my most recent file to this post.
