Alfred Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 After you perform Boolean operations on selected multiple objects you no longer have separate objects, so why would you expect not to lose the ability to colour them separately?

Depends on the boolean operation used here, since if you divide selected multiple objects, you will afterwards have separate objects!

LOL. Of course, but the OP was referring specifically to what happens when you “bool objects together”.

You can use group layers or Layer layers (in Designer) to put several objects into one container. The objects stay seperate and keep their colors, but you can use these containers to move them together.

Well, if you perform such a boolean operation like add or xor which will combine n objects into one resulting one, how should you do that seperate coloring at all here for just one resulting object? - The only possibility here is to influence the resulting one objects color you would like it to have, by determining the order of multiple object selections. So let's say if the last selected one of the multiple selected objects has a red color, then the resulting one object will be red etc. Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"bool objects together" could mean "perform a Boolean Add" or it could mean "use one of the Boolean operations on the vector oblects". Together is a poor choice for clarity. Maybe it means "combine many objects together" or it means "intersect the objects that are gathered together in a selection".

The objects stay seperate and keep their colors, but you can use these containers to move them together. Another option is to use e.g. a rectangular shape (no fill, no stroke), and nest multiple objects to it. This will clip the nested layers to its shape (remove parts outside).

Well since you just wrote "after you perform Boolean operations on selected multiple objects", which here then for me could mean, or be misleading interpreted as, any boolean operations in general.
