Rogue Seven Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Hi there, I've got following issue: I'd like to make a low poly logo according to this tutorial: Currently I'm not sure how to make the triangles fit perfectly. Especially the edges. I want one node with e.g. five branches if you understand what I'm trying to say. From my point of view this is not possible in Affinity Designer. You can only create two independent shapes. Is there also a live paint tool like in Illustrator? I'm lokking gratefully forward to your answers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each one of those triangles is a separate shape. Use the Pen tool and put it into Polygon Mode. There is no equivalent of live paint that I know of, but it should be pretty easy to select the triangles and add colour once you've drawn them - might take a few more clicks, that is all.

Use snapping to co-locate adjacent nodes.

Aammppaa Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I think the best snapping option for this task is shown in my image here… Or you could use an appropriate size of grid for a more uniform arrangement. The snapping options are very powerful, but take a bit of experimentation to fully understand. Also - read the help file, and watch some tutorial on snapping, shape creation, and the pen tool.
