FlexiSTARTER Removing Self-Intersection Path Crossings (Part 14) Working with Paths Mini-Series

Using this feature will help you to separate a path shape that has crossing points into multiple path shapes.

This is great if you want to turn complex paths with crossings into more manageable paths.

This video is part of a Mini-Series.
Next video covers Edit Paths with DesignCentral.

Video Transcript

other guys in today's video Flexi starter. We're gonna be looking at removing self intersections, but before that, let's have a quick intro first. Mm mm. So today's video can be found on softwaretraining.co.za. We make sure easy to watch problem solving videos, and we also have daily updates. Otherwise, we head back on the programme here. Now, Um, just a quick reminder. This is a very serious I'm working with paths. And also we'll leave relevant links and descriptions you can actually follow along now. Self intersections that this is, Let's say we've got the path tool selected. Sorry. My apologies. The selection tool. Now you can see this is one pot that carries on. So it's not individual shapes. We've got two side points and bottom and top. And if we adjust this, you will see the powerful actually change accordingly. So now so these points here with your parts overlap. This is your self intersections. So what we can do? We can actually move these or make any shape where it intersects turn into two separate or three separate shapes, depending on how many times into six. So if we make a quick duplicate of this. Simply held controlling with my selection tool. Moved it with or move the selected thing. And I will make a duplicate for you. So, in any case, to change to this to individual shapes, we can always go to our main menu on top, go to arrange. And then you want to navigate to find path direction. Under this, making sure you're shaping selected, we'll click automatic. Now, if we had to zoom select this part, you will notice that we actually have individual shapes now, which, with our note selection or part selection. So I always got his name wrong. Let me see. Select 0.2. Yeah, Let me try. Remember that. Okay, so if you select that, then we can see here. We actually have individual parts, which is quite handy if you have to break one single shape into pots waiting to six. But that is it on removing self intersections. So if we are to head year to softwaretraining.co.za Uh, you guys on that? We've got a variety of different Softwares we do cover. And also you can isolate your search on the top, right? If you do not however, find what you're looking for. You can always go your request, a training video filling the mini form. And then we will make that video for you. But otherwise thanks, guys for watching and shirts.
