Create compound - options

[Milos Micatek]

Merry Christmas :)

 

I have a question if there would be possibility to add all 4 options to "Create compound" command and/or have an option to change default "Add" choice? I mostly use this feature to subtract one shape from the other so I always need to change it from "Add" to "Subtract" in Layers. It could be also great to have these options available in Preferences to be able create the custom shortcut(s). I mean:

• Create compound ➤ Add
• Create compound ➤ Intersect
• Create compound ➤ Subtract
• Create compound ➤ Xor

Hi Milos Micatek,

 

The Geometry options are available in Preferences so you can edit the Shortcuts they are found in the Layers section just below your first screenshot. Rather than having a shortcut for Creating a compound and then Subtracting you could just use both shortcuts one after another. :)

...The Geometry options are available in Preferences ...

 

Thank you, Callum. I know these options are available in AD, but I prefer to work with non destructive compounds.  ;)

Hi Milos,

 

if you shouldn’t already know, you can Option + Click the boolean operation buttons on the main toolbar to create non-destructive compounds instantly.

 

Cheers, Alex  :)
