Hi all.

I am trying to build a single shape (or path or figure) using shapes or paths in different layers:

I need to make a single shape in a layer with the form (hand drawn in red) from two circles (outer/inner) and two rectangles (as shown in the picture). I am NOT a proffesional and I don't know how to create "intersections" (or whatever operation required).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @BernardoLira select all your intersecting paths, then go to the Options bar above.

Make sure Combine Shapes is checked then choose "Merge Shape Components" to combine.

Before:

After:

From there select the new combined shaped and also the circle, then choose Intersect Shape Areas and then Merge Shape Components again.

Hi Kevin. That was great help so far!!

Here's what I've got:

There's two "triangles" (with one round side) and need to remove the one in the bottom... I'm still trying.

Thank you!
