Lwhovey Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I do love the Boolean tool. Here is my issue. take a simple rectangle, make it red, and a circle make it blue and combine them together using the Boolean add. Once they are added together they both become red. I want them to retain their colors. Is this possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aammppaa Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 By Boolean adding the shapes you are (by definition) making one single shape which can only have one colour. Perhaps you need to group rather than add? Can you give a specific usage example of what you are trying to achieve? Attach a screenshot / video / file perhaps.

firstdefence Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 You can also make the blue circle a child of the red rectangle, which is a kind of grouping.
