Chapter 11: Patterns
Merging Patterns
A merge occurs whenever two patterns overlap on the board. There are three types of merges
Normal:
The highest point between the two patterns prevails in any overlapping areas. This is the default
setting for the Merge feature.
Additive:
The pattern will be added to other patterns occupying the same space, causing it to appear to follow
the contour of the other patterns. Patterns that add up taller than the board are proportionally
squashed
Subtractive:
The pattern will be subtracted from other patterns occupying the same space, causing it to appear to
be cut into the other patterns.
Merge type can be changed by selecting the merge icon in the carving list or by right-clicking on any raster and
selecting the desired merge type from the ‘Merge’ menu.
Clip Pattern
Clip Pattern can be used to eliminate a portion of a pattern. Clip pattern is set by selecting the pattern or region
to be clipped and then by selecting ‘Clip Pattern’ from the ‘Carving’ menu, the Carving toolbar, or from the
context menu. The Clip pattern options are the following:
Clip None:
The patterns interact normally with no changes applied. This is the default setting.
Clip Inclusive:
Removes any portion of selected pattern that does not overlay another pattern or region.
Clip Exclusive:
Removes any portion of selected pattern that does overlap another pattern or region.
