Flatten / Combine / Merge vector

cholasimmons

Rather than "group items", I would like a button that allows the merging of 2 or more vectors into one object.

Besides reducing the amount of items in the object list, I believe this would generally be a necessary feature to enable us to have one illustration as one object

Are you about destructive boolean operations like in Corel Draw? This kind of boolean operations allows editing result as a single object, but not allows to decompose result back. 

We are trying to make much more operations non-destructive to make designers work safer. It's a rather common trend for UI/UX design software, but we could add some more features if the community will find them wanted and useful.

There are some features in Lunacy that could help you:

1. flatten selection https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-G4uvdJ4V78&t=158s / https://docs.icons8.com/editing/#flattening
2. boolean operations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-G4uvdJ4V78 / https://docs.icons8.com/editing/#boolean-operations
3. masking https://docs.icons8.com/editing/#masks
4. and maybe creating components https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkaSsvpgJhU&t=8s / https://docs.icons8.com/components/#creating-components

Explain the use case of the feature, if listed features a not enough for your flow.

@Alex thanks alot, I would have rather "flattened" multiple objects into a single item but i guess these options are better, they allow for editing in future.

cheers mate
