Spline Combiner: The Basics

The following video tutorial shows the basic use of the main Spline Combiner tools.

It covers this 3 tools: Boolean Splines, Shape Cutter and Detect Intersections. Each tool has its own peculiarities but they are all very simple to use and understand.

  • Boolean Splines: Apply Union, Subtraction, and Intersection methods to multiple shapes.
  • Shape Cutter: Segment shapes with ease, creating precise cuts and breaks.
  • Intersection Detection: Automatically find and refine intersection points across splines.

The video was speeded up to make it more dynamic, but you can stop it as many times as you need to better follow the process.
