Staff Lee_T Posted July 12, 2022 Staff Share Posted July 12, 2022 It's not actually clear what you wish to achieve, could you give some screenshots with notation or a video recording of what you are attempting to do? Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get the 2 semi circles and half donut as shown in your screen shot. You DO have a half donut, but I'm guessing you want a faster/cleaner way. I'd use a rectangle to bisect the donut and then use the subtract boolean. Screen Recording 2022-07-12 at 2.27.30 PM.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Like the Pie Tool, the Donut Tool has ‘Start Angle’ and ‘End Angle’ controls (both on the shape itself and on the Context toolbar). For a half donut, draw a whole donut and set the start and end angles to 0° and 180°.
