Is the tool still available?
Now It's also available on Udemy www.udemy.com/course/how-to-draw-vector-shapes-in-affinity-designer/?couponCode=UA-camFRIEND
Nice tutorial. I'll be adding some refinements to the Shape Builder tool in coming updates.
You know - if you don't preselect one of the Action modes, you can make and refine a selection of areas (including adding and removing areas from the selection), then click on an Action button, or press Return or Backspace to apply the selection. This is much more powerful as it affords you more control and precision over which areas are used to make you shapes.
Thanks I now know the hotkeys thanks to this comment
A well-planned tutorial with plenty of practical examples and logical explanation done at a good pace. If only more tutorials were as good.
Thank you Paul!
Very clear, I didn't know about the methods in either version so will try both. I am not very good at getting things to work, but I'm going to give it a try.
I'm not sure I would have ever figured out how to use this tool from the built in help had you not made a tutorial. Thank you.
Happy to help ^_^
Thank you for the video tutorial. Simple and precise. I'm able to create a rough logo design for my small company by watching this. I decided to create the logo myself after being turned down for a few times by paid designer and your tutorial help me through for the very first time user of Affinity Designer
Hi, really helpful tutorial, thank you mate for your work
My pleasure!
Awesome. That's what I looked for!
Glad I could help!
Great videos. I think with the new shape builder tool and the Boolean tools with their compound abilities, sky's the limit. Now if only they could stop the crashes. I know we should save often, but sometimes clicking on save will crash the program.🙃
Yes, yes, it's a bore. However sometimes it's a disaster.
Thanks! This is definitely the clearest and most comprehensive demo of the shape builder that I've seen. I'm excited!
Awesome, thank you! ^_^
Thank you - an easy to follow tutorial that didn't assume I already knew where the shape builder tool button was or any other buttons!!! The pace was good so once I had drawn your pictures/patterns I could follow along.
You're welcome! ^_^
Thanks for this overview of the the new SB tool.
Off topic: What I'd like to see is a "shape hugger" tool, where a shape can be configured to share borders with one or more other shapes. In this environment, one could reshape shared borders without having to worry about the layer hierarchy of the involved. This would be very useful when editing busy graphic images. My 2 cents.
Thanks, compound shapes with shared borders is an interesting idea!
My thought is that, giving that shape builder can see open lines now, maybe it's time to use open lines for everything so that it's easier to work with. And once you are done with it, use shape builder to combine all of them into a single contour.
Can you elaborate?
There is already a feature in the Node tool, where you can copying nodes from one set of geometry to another.
Great informative video, thank you so much! This new tool is way less confusing thanks to you!
Glad it was helpful!
I have started with Affinity Designer 2. Thank you for the tut, easy to follow.

Great....
How can we do that in Affinity Designer 1?
It's new for Affinity 2.

Thanks for informing that which I knew.
Tell me please, how can we do such thing in Affinity Designer 1?
Any chance you could do a course on Udemy?
Yes PLEASE! At Skillshare they accept neither pre-paid cards nor bank transfers from Italy and I'm practically shut out of that platform since I don't want to use the other payment options they offer. So Udemy would indeed be a GREAT possibility.
really col tool! Thanks!
I thought last example would resemble a dick as a joke 😂
Really great explanation btw, convinced me to upgrade to V2 !
Takes a bit but works well
Hey could you create a frosty text effect, or icy text effect, or on a object frosty, icy, effect.
That'd be cool
Courtesy forms are very appreciable: could you PLEASE etc?
Thank
:)
interesting
