I am making this football clock, and need to subtract some numbers and part of a logo from the stripes on the ball. I’ve successfully used the boolean subtract feature to cut-out the numbers. I’m struggling on the logo. I select the logo, then add the stripe to the selection, but the boolean subtract feature is still disabled. Nothing is grouped, and the object is solid. What am I doing wrong? I’ve watched several videos online and am running out of hair to pull out.
Trying to subtract the blue logo from each of the green parts. I know that I’ll have to duplicate the logo. I’m just trying to succeed with one shape right now. Football clock parts.lbrn2 (55.1 KB)
Very odd indeed. @ednisley is dead right that the fault is in the logo not being closed. What’s odd is that it shows as “filled” when using Filled mode viewing.
Looking at the nodes I can confirm that the break is at the start/end nodes. Using Node Edit tool take a look at the green square. Pulling one of the overlapping nodes will reveal that they are unjoined. Lining them back up will close the path.
That’s rather unusual. Seeing a filled shape is the “standard” for determining a closed path, yet this one file presented otherwise. Perhaps a bug in the new revision?
