Ammar Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Hi Is it possible to add a border for example on a square but not for all 2 sides maybe just last two is that possible ? Kindest Regards Quote
Ron P. Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Which app, Photo, Designer, Publisher? In Photo and Designer you could use the Pen tool and draw a stroke on the 2 sides of the square. Using Pen Pressure sort of gets you there, but to me it doesn't look right. Quote Affinity Photo 2.5..; Affinity Designer 2.5..; Affinity Publisher 2.5..; Affinity2 Beta versions.

Ammar Posted January 13, 2023 Author Posted January 13, 2023 Design for Mac, I was hoping for something in the border setting or so. Quote
Ron P. Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Here's what I was referring to. Stroke with no fill on 2 sides of a square.

Ammar Posted January 13, 2023 Author Posted January 13, 2023 what if the square had two rounded corners ? using the pen tool won't work Quote

Just have Smooth nodes or corners for the two. How about using the Corner Tool to round those corners, or just making them smooth when using the Pen tool.

Ron P. Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Are you wanting something more like a Drop Shadow effect? I can't find a quick, one-click method for putting a border on just two sides.

No, stroke gets always assigned to the entire shape. – Workaround with a masking object: Ron P. 1 Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1
Ron P. Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 I had a brain block on this. Didn't occur to me to mask..

R C-R Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Maybe I have misunderstood what is wanted but can't you just create a pair of rectangles, position & size them on the edges where you want the borders, give them a fill but no stroke, & add them to get a single L-shared object. If you need curves on one or more corners, use rounded rectangles instead of straight ones with only the desired edges set to rounded (or in AD use the Corner Tool for that).

BlueLiner Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Another way would be to add a stroke to the outside of the rectangle, expand the stroke and then just move / edit the nodes. The simplest would be to just duplicate, make the one at the back black, Increase its size to create the desired border width, then just drag in left and bottom sides: Quote

BlueLiner Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Yep, I like that way best too. Easier and faster than node editing to be sure Quote
