Lesson Info
Shape Builder Tool
next I'm going to walk through the shape builder tool. So first let's zoom in here. I'll demonstrate on this letter A. Going to start with my pen tool. Once again Here, just trace over the letter. Hold down shift for straight 90° angles shift, select it with your selection tool here and I'm actually going to copy and paste so it's just holding down option and shift. I'm gonna transform reflect this one, bring those together and using me my rectangle tool here. I'm gonna make the crossbar of A. And then you can select this, click on your shape builder tool, click and drag if you want to unite certain sections like that. Um where you can also delete certain sections. So if I hold down option you can see that the plus changes to a minus and then you can click on that. That's not what I want to do. But you get the idea shape builder tool can come in handy a lot of times for the letter o. I'll demonstrate an example here. So here we go. It will be the outside. Amen. Make sure that these are...
aligned. So go to my line panel here. Yeah, it looks like they were just a tad off. Yeah that way too. So once I have both of those shapes created, I can go to my shape builder tool again click option, hold it down and then click once more and it deletes the center. So that's the shape builder tool. Yeah
