Jackson Bean Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) Hello! When attempting to combine these two curves together, the result is a completely different shape. The "r" is being warped in such a weird way and I'm not sure why this might be happening. Before the add: After the add: Any help is appreciated! Please be patient, I'm decently new to this.

firstdefence Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Which font was used to make the curves? Try making an compound instead so, select both curves, and when you click on the Geometry add hold down option/alt this will create a compound shape and not distort the 'r' Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

If the above doesn't work, changing the order of the paths in the layer stack may help. The add (and other boolean functions) are full of bugs. What you are seeing is one of them. This worked. Thanks! Though I'm leaving the recording as well in case any developers want to look into the issue. On 1/16/2022 at 5:41 AM, firstdefence said: Which font was used to make the curves?

Unfortunately, this does not fix the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Just tried again and all you need to do is break the curve on "r" and the "l" at a different node and close the curve, then select all the curves and add, that should work.
