I follow you on youtube since about 2013. I'm glad to see you're still around and active =) To be honest, I don't remember exactly if you already had the channel back there or if it was only the blog.

Thank you for the resources - I really appreciate them. I've still got to work through your shape builder video and then this one so I think I'm going to be busy for a while.

yeah.. no.. nothin gI do with the shape builder ever acts close to what it is in the video. this is day 3.. I get it. you select the bits you want to make a new shape from and by missing out the overlapping lines you can make it look like its going over and under.. EASY. When I do it. I get left with a negative selection and no visible change to the pattern, or just a new white shape the same size as both the fill line and the outer lines with gaps where the black should be showing through.. no black outlines any more. a random mix of the finest select lines for this week's catalogue of finest lines.. but none of the bits I chose. If I select the group like you do in the video I do not get the intersecting markers on the junctions. I am so bloody-minded I have taken 3 more sick days from work to figure this out as I am pissed right now. and no I do not want the templates as I am now determined. I have been trying this now for 16 hours and im on my last legs xD.. I lost count what project I am on, the good news Is I can get up to the shape builder part blind folded. I have no idea if anyone one else is having any issues with this.. or if I am simply just too stupid to follow a tutorial.. like I said I am on my I lost count which project I am on now it behave the same on them all.. randomly

I don't know what the problem is. There are a lot of possible issues with the shape builder [action setting [I suggest turning all off and creating a new shape once you are done selecting], too small areas to select, parts not separating as they are either looping [creating an x-crossing with no shape going over - cut the line into two parts before expanding] or not completely overlapping [leaving a connection - check the lines and make sure they properly run over each other before expanding]. It always helps to work on the principles with simpler objects to understand the workings of the shape builder. This video is an advanced video - and probably one of the most complex tutorials I have recorded. I would recommend watching the 'Basics of Shape Builder' video I recorded recently: kzitem.info/news/bejne/pKSprq6VrIF-g5g Should it not help feel free to email me your file and I will have a look and see if I can find the issue[s]. Best of luck! i
