Intertwine Effect: Where is it?
-
Oh no! It does not work on pure black?
-
This is what I wanted to create. But this done in the old way. Manually. By setting up white cutting lines. Turning them into shapes and cutting the lines with them.
That took me 45 mins.
-
End result.
Is it possible to allow intertwine to work on pure blacks. Please see the knot path effect in Inkscape. That's what I am looking for. But in Inkscape, the knots don't follow the path direction, so they lead to very jagged edges. See what I mean?

"Crossing Gap" is the right Effect for something like this
you found it under Shape Effects it Works with a single stroke,
btw with the new mirror feature you may able to create something
this way a little fasterIntertwine works differently
-
@Subpath Let me try this and get back to you. Thank you!
-
@Subpath: Nope. Very similar problem. Leading to strange distortions.
Even in your example, you can see what the problem is: The gap does not follow the path.
-
@Daniel Send me that VS file
-
in the meantime i found a way to create (fake) gaps with the Intertwine Effect.
Create your Stroke, Expand that Stroke and give it a white outline
now you could use the the Intertwine Effect to fake gaps.
-
@Subpath: This too failed eventually. Getting the gaps to follow the direction of the path was difficult. I did however manually complete the project.
It's for an AI-based security firm. The central pentagon stands for the SOC, the security operations centre. The circles on the outer perimeter represent the constant social listening of the AI engine. The interlocking lines show unending stream of data. The filled blue hexagons represent co-ordination and continuous monitoring. Sort of like a beehive.
Wanted to share because the client was chuffed and I was very excited.

@Daniel This might be solvable with some new features in the Intertwine tool.
First I will try to fix the stroke crossing gap problem, but that cannot solve this case with multiple objects
-
@VectorStyler; Thank you!
By the way, I created a pattern out of the logo. It is very Arabesque. But still, a great looking pattern.
