Dan Hollick with another nerdy thread, this time explaining boolean operators.

I wasn’t aware of the Shift+Delete shortcut for removing points on vector paths, but Option-clicking on them with the Pen tool is an even faster way to clean up a vector path.

Another drawing challenge from Miguel. Love the simplicity of his approach and how well the icon has turned out. 

How would you create a spiral in Figma without any external tools? Miggi’s answer is in the thread, but some of the solutions from others are really smart and creative too!

Anthony DiSpezio goes deep on hexagons, and this has absolutely nothing to do with Twitter or NFTs.

Warp your designs using Smudge, Twirl, Bulge, Pinch, Arc, Flag, and Free Transform tools. This premium plugin brings the typical warp tools known from other vector apps to Figma.

Combining components and shapes to create more advanced shapes.

While outlining a stroke is a common feature in design tools, I’ve never seen the opposite!

Miggi created a single-point infinity sign, then Vijay came up with a cool animation. Team work 🙌

Boolean groups + vector networks + rounded corners = magic! Don’t miss Miguel’s original thread, and check out where they brought it in the end 🤯

And another short video from Miguel, this time about Bezier curves.

A simple plugin that allows you to warp, bend, and distort vector shapes.

New video series from Rogie, where he explores a single topic in just five minutes. The signal to noise ratio is really high, so everyone will learn something. He kicks off the series with vector shapes, but don’t miss Part 2, where he covers vector editing tools.

A deep dive on scalable vector creation: learn about Figma’s unique and powerful editor capabilities using vector networks, boolean operations, texturing techniques, smart shapes, and corner smoothing.

“Hold the Option or Alt key while in Vector Edit mode to see precise measurements between points.” The team at Figma is on fire lately — there was at least one app update in every issue since March!

Nice to see how vector networks and rounded corners speed up the design process.
