Merging Objects with Boolean Operations

Merging Objects with Boolean Operations

In addition to the Path Builder Tool, Vector Ink offers several Boolean operations for merging paths together. These operations provide versatile ways to combine, subtract, and intersect paths based on their geometric relationships.

Getting Started with Boolean Operations

To merge paths, first select two or more overlapping objects on the canvas. Then, open the Boolean properties panel to access the different merging options.

Boolean Operation Types

• Unite: This operation combines the geometry of the selected shapes into one unified object.
• Subtract: This function cuts out the area of the bottom shape that overlaps with the top shape.
• Exclude: This option merges the selected shapes but excludes the intersecting areas, leaving a shape that consists of only the non-overlapping parts.
• Intersect: This operation merges the selected shapes and retains only the areas that overlap, discarding all other parts.
