Affinity Designer Prevent Curve Overlap Cutout

Question

I'm making a shape in Affinity Designer using the pen tool, tweaking bezier curves, etc.

I have a shape that overlaps, meaning curves back and crosses over itself, so there's an intersection. The default behavior for Affinity Designer is to create a subtractive effect, whereby the shape has no fill in the intersection.

I'd like the shape I've created to be filled in, even in the intersection. How do I make Affinity do this?

Answer 1

You probably figured out a solution by now, but I thought I'd post here anyway.

From the manual:

1. With the object selected, from the Layer menu, select an option from the Fill Mode sub-menu.

2. You are looking for the Winding (Non-Zero) option.
