Preparing you for my next video. You need to have a strong comprehension on the tools discussed in this video. I'll be using Boolean tools and node editing in Lightburn to create Greek/Roman borders for designs in Lightburn. Several of you have asked about the differences with some of these tools. Hopefully this will help.

Well done, sir. The F1 trick was one of the I hadn't seen before. Super useful.
Thank very useful and good explanation on topics
Thanks for some great info!
Very informative, thanks for sharing the knowledge, very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, very well explained.. Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks, Steve. very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Brilliant!
Many thanks.
Thank you too!
Boolean was greyed out for me after selecting, what i thought was just two objects. Very very frustrating. your simple reference to the bottom, indicating how many objects were selected (which i had never used or noticed existed), showed that i actually had three objects selected, the third being an unintended duplicate of one of the shapes. was able to removed and bang, it worked. thanks so much for this!!!!
Glad it was helpful. I have lttle gems like that in a lot of my videos. Tips that don't deal so much with a particular design, but the functionality of the software. Like the tip I showed on saving favorite fonts in my last video, Making the Best Frame Ever even Better. It is a short video and not many care to want to see how to use variable text. But those that jump around or simply don't watch, miss out on a neat function. Be sure to subscribe and hit that notifications bell so you don't miss a thing.
Excellent video! I had an epiphany watching this video concerning the boolean function in lightburn. I had traced an image that contained lettering and I couldn't figure out how to keep the centers of the letters from falling out when I cut the image out. I heard you say that most boolean functions only work with two objects.. A light came on in my head.. All the traced lettering were individual curves.. As soon as I grouped them together adding pieces to keep the centers in became child's play. Oh and the part about nodes was enlightening too! Thanks!
so much thanks!!!
This was incredibly helpful, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
hugs to ms Gigi!
She gets plenty of hugs. And G.G. is actually her initials. Her name is Good Girl. And because I'm so lazy, I use G.G.

Great video explaining the boolean tools, had me scratching my head. Thanks Steve π
Glad to help
Filled in some blanks. Looking forward to Greek
Another great video Steve. Keep them coming
Thanks, will do!
Excellent video Steve. it was highly informative. I learned more about Boolean tools in his video today than I have in the past year.
Thank you, Pete. And a huge thanks for the support.
Thanks, That has cleared up my problems a lot. Keep these a comin.
Glad it helped
All your Videos are great ones, this is the best explanation of these features I have seen even videos from lightburn ππ«
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Terrific explanation. I have been struggling with making a variety of boxes with French cleats for a pantry storage system fir my wife. boxes py has all the components but they aren't linked in a way that is efficient. I do a box and then add the cleat in LB. Lots of manipulation that doesn't seem to be consistant. Thanks for the explanation to ease my strokr level.
Boxes.py is not that Lightburn friendly. My new favorite box generator is www.gravini.cz/en/
Enjoying your videos!
Question... Do you know of a way to perform boolean operations on closed objects created with the draw lines tools?
As long as they are closed. You are only working with two objects. It should work fine. When you convert the primative shapes to paths, you make them equivalent line drawn objects. If it's not working for you, you are working with more than two objects, or they aren't actually closed. The quickest way to be sure they are closed is to create a 0 offset and delete the original images.
HAH! Thanks! I was wondering why the Boolean symbol would go dark for me only sometimes!! I am only half way through your video so you may give more examples to use it. I have used weld a couple of times ok. Ok, I'm craving Dunkin Donuts breakfast..
I use the Boolean tools a lot in my videos. Here is the most recent with an example how to use it on some free artwork on my website. ruclips.net/video/kIX9T0q_Gkc/Π²ΠΈΠ΄Π΅ΠΎ.html
I did something with nodes last year. Can't remember. smoothing? Curves?? Not sure why they are important. Can you explain why a laser needs nodes? Thanks.
In this video I show how nodes can cause problems and also why you need them. ruclips.net/video/-B2FHBRJmu8/Π²ΠΈΠ΄Π΅ΠΎ.html
Can you use the Boolean tools on images? Because i can't seem to get it to work. I have a shape and an image
Boolean tools are for working with paths. An image is not made-up paths. It's a bunch of pixels. So, no. Cannot use Boolean tools with images.
Thanks!
Thank You!
