Inkscape 1.3 free1/18/2024 In the video, Owens discusses how the Shape Builder Tool works and why it’s such a versatile tool, while simultaneously playing clips of users testing out or demoing a working version of the feature. In his latest video, Shape Builder 2: Boolean Boogaloo – Inkscape Update 17th Sep 2022, Owens reveals that he’s “completed” a working version of the Shape Builder tool, and has already requested and received feedback from testers via a development release of Inkscape. However, thanks to Owens’ recent efforts, the original Shape Builder code has been “rebased,” or updated to be compatible with Inkscape’s latest codebase, allowing Owens and future Inkscape developers to work on the code and get it ready for the next stable release. Owens also “refactored” the code to be able to introduce new features and remove some superfluous or otherwise unnecessary features. Additionally, due to Inkscape’s ever-evolving codebase, the initial work on that project eventually became obsolete for newer versions of Inkscape. In a video Owens released about 3 weeks ago titled Shape Builder and Power Styles – Inkscape Update 27th Aug 2022, he discusses how the Shape Builder tool was initially introduced to Inkscape via a Google Summer of Code student’s project. Owens has been releasing update videos on his YouTube channel discussing his contributions to this popular and highly-requested feature for Inkscape. It was popularized by Adobe Illustator, which released the first version of the tool in Illustrator CS5 in May 2010. The Shape Builder tool is a “live” or “on-canvas” boolean operation tool that lets you combine multiple shapes or shape segments to create new shapes. The Shape Builder Tool is officially coming to Inkscape, and very soon! Major Inkscape Contributor Martin Owens has been making inroads with getting a workable version ready for the next major stable release version of Inkscape, and major tests are already underway.
