firstdefence Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Check the Layer > Fill Mode and or try boolean subtract by holding the alt key down as you click on the subtract icon, this creates a compound so it maintains edibility as well.

iconoclast Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Hi ra.skill! As far as I understand, you want to make holes in your figure with the texture. This will not work with the Geometry functions because the texture doesn't really consist of vectors. You can try using a mask. But you have to do that in the Pixel Persona.
