Selecting a node covered by another node

[Chris Homan]

Hi,

 

I have a complex curve and one node is covered by another. I want to delete the 'lower' node but am unable as I cannot get it selected. Is there a way to 'walk' through the nodes, e..g. select one node and the hit a shortcut to select the next node?

Hi Chris,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

No, currently there's no way to cycle through nodes.

I am using the Windows beta.

 

Try this. Select both nodes by dragging the selection marquee around them with the node tool. Now hold the shift key and select the top node. Press delete. that should delete just the bottom node.

Brilliant, thanks!

You're most welcome, Chris.

Alternatively just select the top node which u want to keep; then nudge it over using the arrow keys a set amount (2 clicks is usually enough). Then select and delete the lower node. Select the upper node u nudged, and nudge it back the same number of clicks as before but in the opposite direction.

Hi guys,

 

Target the lower curve on the Layers Panel by Option-click on its thumbnail.

Now it's isolated, with Cmd key pressed, select the unwanted node and press Delete.

Clicking away will exit isolated mode.
