retrograde Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Hi team, just wondering if there has been any headway on the boolean tidying up issue? See attached. It's weird because it seems inconsistent. It appears that the closer two paths are to each other the more nodes gets placed all along each path and sometimes even a third path is generated from the two intersecting/overlapping paths. What makes this problematic is that after the boolean if you want to further manipulate the resulting shape, you are dealing with sometimes hundreds of nodes. For example here in the attached windshield/windscreen image I would have duplicated the darker "window seal" element to build a shadow area under the upper ridge. Because of all of the nodes now I'm forced to redraw a new element for that and try to get it into the same shape. Not to mention cleaning up and removing unwanted extra pieces... Sorry to keep harping on this but to me this is very important stuff and I hope it's being addressed. :) Gear maker, A_B_C and Alfred 3 Quote http://www.kevincreative.com https://www.behance.net/kevincreative https://dribbble.com/kevincreative https://www.instagram.com/kevincreative/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted September 16, 2016 Staff Share Posted September 16, 2016 Hi retrograde, No new information on this at the moment, it's still with the developers to look into, hopefully one of them will see this post and provide an update.

L Thanks Lee, would love to see it addressed after 1.5 is out. This and the expand strokes issues are I think either related or one in the same. To be honest it's keeping me from adopting a full Designer workflow for my illustration business.

retrograde Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 Same illustration, more boolean woes... it seems to work perfectly in some areas and just adds extra pieces/nodes in others. Arghh!! :blink: Quote http://www.kevincreative.com https://www.behance.net/kevincreative https://dribbble.com/kevincreative https://www.instagram.com/kevincreative/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
