![]() ![]() (A curve of 46% is much closer but I still don’t know if it’s exactly right.) A Reulaeux Triangle is a very specific geometric shape that I think would be difficult to create precisely using the polygon tool and would require some experimentation and/or mathematical calculations by the user.Īs you can see in my attached image, using the in-built functionality gives me an approximation of a Reulaeux Triangle (filled in orange) but the curves are wrong and I have had to manually scale the shape to fit by eye and it’s still not exact. That’s a nice quick way of getting a shape that’s similar to a Reulaeux Triangle but it might not be a good way to get an exact decent (see note) Reulaeux Triangle. The attached image shows some examples of using the corner tool on the shape and some effects (Martin’s “Golden boy”). Select both remaining shapes and use Geometry Intersect again. Select two circles and use Geometry Intersect.ġ0. Draw a new circle with a centre at the intersection of the two circles at the top until the side of the new circle snaps to the same horizontal position as the end of the new line.ĩ. Use the Move Tool (with SHIFT pressed) to resize the new line so it crosses the circle completely.ħ. Draw a line from where the two circles intersect at the top to one end of the line.Ħ. Draw another circle the same way but from the other end of the line.ĥ. Draw a circle with CTRL+SHIFT from a centre at one end of the line so that the edge of the circle meets the other end of the line.Ĥ. Draw a line which will be the bottom two points of the triangle.ģ. ![]() Make sure you have Snapping ON (you may need to put more snapping options ON than you normally have).Ģ. (Apologies for the non-technical imprecise language.)ġ. Here’s how you can create a Reuleaux Triangle, see attached image and video below. Designer was used in the video and I’m pretty sure that the same workflow can be followed in all the Affinity applications but you will have to use the relevant menu choices for the Geometry operations instead of the Designer toolbar buttons. ![]()
