nPoika Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Hi there, The divide path operation should allow you to use open curves so that you can split complex geometry easily. (Though a separate tool specific to this would be fine!). The workaround videos suggesting selecting two points and then breaking the geometry is a terrible work around, and would not allow for curved cutting paths). If avoidable it also shouldn't explode previously made compound shapes (with nested paths forming holes). I appreciate there's a wishlist a mile long but this seems fundamental to a tool that is specifically for the composition of advanced geometries.
