Positive Media Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Perhaps someone can help me here. There's no Affinity manual yet so I'm kind of lost. I'm a design things for motion graphics as needed kind of guy so I'm fairly vector illiterate. Does the red colored control point mean the path is open? Can I "close" it? I'm trying to troubleshoot something. I am converting Designer generated .SVG files into 3D objects. In the 3D program though I am ending up with random lines shooting out from the object in all directions. I'm assuming these are "open paths" if that makes sense? So first step for me, what does the red control point mean? Why is it red vs the blue of the rest? When I first created the shape they were all blue. I then go in and tweak with the bezier handles and one always turns red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Leigh Posted November 24, 2015 Staff Share Posted November 24, 2015 Hey! The red node indicates that it's the start/end point. Looking at your image it seems that the path is already closed. More information can be found in Affinity Designer's help section by going to Help > Affinity Designer Help > Drawing lines and shapes.
