Inkscape Video Tutorial - Going through the Basics of the Shape Builder

In this video, I will go through the basics of the shape builder function in Inkscape v1.3.
The shape builder is one of the great additions in v1.3 of Inkscape. Once you get your head around it, it is extremely helpful and pretty straightforward. In this video I will be working with six different simple designs to show you the basics of the tools, the do's, and [some of] the don't.

I love the detailed tutorial! Such a rarity these days. I could do without the background music, however. I found it very difficult to concentrate with it going.

[@TimConceivable]

nice overview. i'm having trouble seeing the advantage of this tool though. what's the benefit of building a shape rather than just grouping and duplicating the shapes you already have?

[@2dgameartguru]

I was 100% with you but have been playing with the shapebuilder for a bit since. It has its merits. I just created a bunch of interwoven/ entangled designs with a above/ below and it was a breeze to do with the shapebuilder. Another recent example, I took a font with a double outline, threw it into shapebuilder and selected the open areas for a new fill shape [quicker and easier than a break apart and reassemble]. A logo design made up of multiple shapes can be easily duplicated, rearranged, combined, using cutout and combined parts, to make one shape and add strokes or FX to [while keep the base elements for another variation].
All these task could have been achieved without the shapebuilder tool but might just take more time.
