Both objects were selected, then we clicked on Crop. We selected the Heart Shape and placed it over the background. In the example below, we added a background. This is especially useful when using shapes to crop around images. More than two shapes can be cropped with only the overlapping areas remaining. The result is on the right side.Ĭrop is similar to Intersect when all but the overlapping areas are removed. In the image below, we duplicated the shapes then used the Intersect option. This tool will remove everything except for the area that overlaps. The Subtract tool removes the top shape and the overlapping areas from the bottom shape. Instead, overlapping areas are cut into individual objects. The Divide tool will not remove any part of the shapes. We repositioned the shapes as shown below. Subtract All essentially “cuts” out the areas that are overlapping. One the left side are the unwelded shapes. In the image below we shifted the shapes so there was a gap. As you can see, the final result has taken on the color of the top most shape. Where the shapes overlap, they will weld together.
Next, select all the shapes with the Select Tool on the top left toolbar. In this case, we will overlap our images as seen below. This option would normally be used to weld overlapping text when cutting as a single object. The Weld tool can also be used by right clicking > Weld, or clicking the icon top toolbar. So let’s take a look at what each option does. The Modify Tool Panel can be found on the right side toolbar. You can also edit the shapes before moving onto the Modify options. We have a great tutorial on advanced color settings in Silhouette Studio if you need more information.
Now, fill the shapes with color using the Fill Panel on the right side toolbar. Throughout the tutorial we will be using Flexi Shapes but you can also modify SVG files and text.Īfter you have opened Silhouette Studio, draw out three shapes using the Flexi Shapes tool on the left toolbar. The ModifyTool is available in all Silhouette Studio versions. This is especially useful when designing cut files from scratch. With the Modify Tool Panel, you can change the interaction between overlapping objects.
