If I have a path that crosses over itself many times, is there any way to get the desired crossover effect shown below, in Affinity Designer on Mac?

Manually editing each crossover isn't feasible, because there are a thousand or more crossovers.

Thanks!

This question has been asked before. Unfortunately there is no function to give this result for vector / curves.

If you can live with raster/bitmap results, it is possible with special crafted pixel brushes.

See screenshot below.

  • create a shape of 360x180px, having white area with black edge.
  • export as png
  • In Designer, create new image brush from png
  • create curve (rope)
  • assign image brush

in the example I used a gradient to better visualize how this works.

Add cups at line ends manually, to avoid unwanted stretching
