Odd results with Geometry Add (or bug)


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to combine two objects using "geometry add".  I have them lined up using the arrange feature as well.  Here is the original set up.

However this is the result:

I recreated the same objects in a new document, same layer order, same basic shapes and get the correct expected result.

Am I missing something about how the feature works?  I've had similar issus with subtraction sometimes leaving lines behind on overlapping objects.

Thanks MEB.  I am using the latest version of the mac app store.  Unfortunately I didn't keep the original files and I couldn't recreate the issue with the same shapes so I did the next best.  I'll keep trying though.

 

In this file, I've subtracted the shapes but only one of them gives me what I think is the expected behaviour.  I included the history of the document as well.

Hi please,

Thanks for the file. The Beta has improved the boolean operations code considerably, but in this particular case it still fails where object's boundaries overlap. I'm filling a bug report for this.

You can avoid this situation if you make the overlapping object (the one you want to subtract) a bit wider than the object on the bottom.
