a2jc4life Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I'm sure this is user error, but I can't figure out what's different between these that are doing weird things and the ones that are behaving the way I expect them to, so I'm not sure what to do differently. I'm working in Affinity Designer, and I have a hollow circle (a ring) shape that I'm trying to combine, one by one, with other shapes. (The ring is a solid figure; it isn't an outline.) So I take that image (previously saved as an SVG, if I recall correctly), I place another solid shape over it, overlapping, and click "add." About 50% of the time, this does exactly what I expect -- I get a shape that's a ring with something else "sticking off of" it. The other 50% or so of the time, the entire center turns black, and I don't understand why. Here's an example of one of these pairs, before clicking "add" (this is what the end result is supposed to look like, although I need for it to be all one shape/curve) and after clicking "add."

a2jc4life Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 That did the trick! (At least for this one; it's late, so I'll have to try the others tomorrow.) Thank you so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
