Joining more than one anchor point

[DanKuz]

I am rather new to Affinity, coming from an Illustrator background.

What I want to do is join line segments into one object. In my example, its basically a rectangular box. But I want to method to apply to all segments, including curves.

The main reason for wanting closed shapes, is for texturing.

So the question is, how can you join the top and bottom rectangles to make all the segments part of one single object.

Affinity cannot branch lines - it is always one open or closed line/curve.

You need to draw 6 separate rectangles, alternatively grouped into a Group so that you can adjust the line strength and color of all of them together.

P.S. try look to isometric grid:

Another way to think of this is a node on a vector shape can connect no more than two segments of the curve. This true for most vector creation apps that use the same kind of vector objects.

Pšenda, great idea. Thank you.
