camelia Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Hello, Why the selection of the design is bigger if I choose "Select All" and If I Ungroup is smaller? Thanks Camelia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyFault Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Interesting. Can you share the afdesign document? i would activate Split View Mode and outline mode to see if anything inside the group matches the selection area.

StuartRc Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 It is possible that a object within your group is larger than the visible area.. a. like a large vector contained within a smaller shape b. remote single pixel present but not obviously visible c. a rotated object within a group can increase the group container size camelia 1 Quote Affinity Version 1 (10.6) Affinity Version 2.5.5 All (Designer | Photo | Publisher) Beta; 2.5 5.2636 OS:Windows 10 Pro 22H2 OS Build 19045.4412+ Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19056.1000.0 Rig:AMD FX 8350 and AMD Radeon (R9 380 Series) Settings Version 21.04.01 Radeon Settings Version 2020 20.1.03) + Wacom Intuous 4M with driver 6.3.41-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R C-R Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Something is nested in the 3 "(Image") layers (ST, A, & R). Knowing what those items might be could maybe somehow help figure out what is causing this? camelia and StuartRc 2 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.5.5 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 All 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ungrouping will keep the size in my test cases yep I have seen things like this before.. the more complex the group ..the more likely it is to occur. Sometimes I get raster images | objects that do the opposite. i. e it clips image to edges of object even though larger...To get around this I usually just rasterize it! camelia 1 Quote Affinity Version 1 (10.6) Affinity Version 2.5.5 All (Designer | Photo | Publisher) Beta; 2.5 5.2636 OS:Windows 10 Pro 22H2 OS Build 19045.4412+ Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19056.1000.0 Rig:AMD FX 8350 and AMD Radeon (R9 380 Series) Settings Version 21.04.01 Radeon Settings Version 2020 20.1.03) + Wacom Intuous 4M with driver 6.3.41-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v_kyr Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Usually this mostly happens when a group contains rotated objects etc. When you cycle the selection box you can see the Regular bounds vs the Base Box. In your case it's due to some rotated curves for the head part (aka rotated blue hair curves), when you select those rotated ones you can see that they exceed the bounding box area of your bottom rect. - To fix this for the individual rotated curves ... Copy the rotated curve (just in order to get it's possible applied styles, like gradient flows etc.) Select the single rotated curve layer and perform a geom. add operation on it itself (this straightens/resets the bounding box of a rotated curve) Paste just the style back to the selected curve layer ("Edit -> Paste style" Shift-Cmd-P) Here's your fixed file, check the outer group bounding box size now and inspect all the rotated layer curves, I might have overseen some which exceed the bottom of your rect ... 02HeaderCurvesTest.afdesign See also related ... ... and so on. camelia and NotMyFault 2 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...
Old Bruce Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 It is caused by the Hair and the right arm. Using a Boolean Add messes up the Gradient though. camelia 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
