Merger

Specify how to merge shapes

SdfMerger SdfMerger SdfMerger SdfMerger

Merger mode is only accessible for shapes inside a GroupShapeGenerator Icon Group of shapes . Because a shape only merges with the previous one, merger mode is locked for the first shape of a group.

Merger mode can be changed either directly from the ElementTreeWorkspaceComponent Icon Element Tree or inside the ParametersWorkspaceComponent Icon Parameters Editor , and then quickly switched with the up and down arrow keys.

In the ElementTreeWorkspaceComponent Icon Element Tree :

Mergers let you create complex shapes and the transition between them. Like the BlendingMode Icon Blending Mode , the merging rate is defined by a percentage.

  • 0%: Not merged

  • 100% Totally merged (sometimes display only the previous one)

  • Pass Through Pass Through
  • Replace Replace
  • Add Add
  • Substract Substract
  • Intersect Intersect
  • Exclude Exclude
