FreddyFish Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Hi everyone, Having a frustrating time can you help? I want to cut the white vertical bars where the shape is. See the video where I am stuck. Thanks Fred question.mov Quote
Staff MEB Posted March 1, 2019 Staff Posted March 1, 2019 Hi FreddyFish, Welcome to Affinity Forums If the white bars are lines (not shapes) - which seems to be the case - you have to expand them first going to menu Layer ▸ Expand Stroke to convert the lines to shapes. Then use the Subtract boolean operation to subtract the object on top from the other below. You can only perform boolean operations between shapes (not between lines and shapes). [EDIT] Divide can be also used here - just delete the parts you are not interested in. You will have to duplicate the brown shape if you want to subtract it from other vertical bars.

Staff MEB Posted March 1, 2019 Staff Posted March 1, 2019 Hi FreddyFish, You can use this link to upload the file directly to me. The Divide operation can be also be here - just delete the parts you are not interested in. I've corrected this in my first post as well since it was wrong.
