How to boolean (substract) many morphs at one time

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 17:20:04 GMT

Hello
I have many morph elements need to be substracted by one source morph,
but "substract tool" can only substract one element once --- any advice,
(PS, for simplicity, I don't want SEO)

Thanks

You can 'Union' those multiple morphs into one morph - but they will no longer be separate morphs.
This shouldn't be a problem if you aren't going to change or move them.
You can split them again later if need be, but that might be a tedious process.

I would just SEO.
Then you know the connection is live and will adjust if your morphs are moved.

Barry.

OK
though there will be a bit complicated to modify again,
Thanks Kerry

Here is what you can do:

1. Select all Morph elements you want to subtract from, select them as Targets in the SEO Palette, and Subtract the other Morph element from them in a single step. Now, there will be an associative relationship between each of them and the Morph that was subtracted from them.
2. Now, select all the target Morhps again, and use the "Design > Convert Selection to Morph(s)'" command. Each Morph will be converted into a separate Morph element (even if their geometries collide in 3D), with the SEO applied, but no longer associated with the operator Morph element.
