Nico Martinez Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 see attached picture i want it to be like that so the wrench looks like it is behind hammer. How to I cut part of the line so it doesn't overlap and looks like the below picture. Quote

Nico Martinez Posted March 14, 2021 Author Posted March 14, 2021 this does not seem to work in all situations! Thanks anyway for the reply! Quote
firstdefence Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 Why not just draw the spanner and then the hammer and have the hammer as the uppermost layer instead of trying convoluted curve splitting?

That’s the obvious thing to do if the hammer has a 100% opaque fill, but what if it doesn’t? It would be helpful if @Nico Martinez were to give us an example of a situation where @v_kyr’s solution doesn’t work.

iconoclast Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 If you draw the wench, and then the hammer overlapping it, make a duplicate of the hammer. Then subtract one of the hammers from the wench, so that it will get a gap where the hammer is, while one of the two hammers disappears (- because it is subtracted). But the other one is still there. And whatever transparency you may choose, there will no longer be the lines of the wench looking through. And if you group the hammer with the wench, they can get the same transparency i n the same step. Quote
Alfred Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) Staring Starting with the wrench on top, duplicate the hammer and subtract the duplicate from a transparent rectangle covering the original wrench and hammer. Clip the wrench to the new shape so that only the parts outside the hammer remain visible. In the attached Designer document I used a solid rectangle as the background to keep the file size down, but I’ve added a screenshot here to show the result of using a photo instead. wrench-and-hammer.afdesign Edited March 14, 2021 by Alfred Corrected typo Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.5.1 (iPad 7th gen)
