purplie Posted September 6, 2023 Posted September 6, 2023 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! Quote
NotMyFault Posted September 6, 2023 Posted September 6, 2023 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.

NotMyFault Posted September 6, 2023 Posted September 6, 2023 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 purplie 1 Quote Mac mini M1 A2348 | MBP M3 Windows 11 - AMD Ryzen 9 5900x - 32 GB RAM - Nvidia GTX 1080 LG34WK950U-W, calibrated to DCI-P3 with LG Calibration Studio / Spider 5 | Dell 27“ 4K iPad Air Gen 5 (2022) A2589 Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.
