Timber Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Hi All, I've created a vector drawing with the pen tool that's petrol pump with a dispensing hose. I've decided I wanted to do a black and light gray gradient around the hose to give it some roundness. Make it appear as a round rubber hose. I want the petrol pump body different colors. How do I go about splitting the hose off from the pump body and rejoining the pump body where the hose segment attached? Without redrawing the pump body and hose separately? Thanks in advance!

Staff MEB Posted March 22, 2015 Staff Share Posted March 22, 2015 Hi Timber, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Here's a quick video showing a way to do it. Basically i've drawn a third shape with the Pen Tool and snapped two of its nodes over the ones where i wanted to perform the split. Then with all the objects selected i performed a divide boolean operation to divide the parts and deleted the additional shape i've drawn. Let me know if you still have trouble.
