Say, I have two triangles like at this picture:
Using Sketch. I want to cut off the upper part of the red triangle, the one above the black triangle. I can manually create a couple of sub-paths in the red triangle, cut them off and then close path again. But I definitely want to learn the better way, since it's not always about such simple shapes.
@shabunc.
I'd do this: 1. duplicate the upper shape and hide it;
select the original shapes and use "Subtract" to subtract the top shape from the bottom one.
Hit "Flatten", so the new shape breaks up into several smaller shapes in a group.
select the unnecessary shapes in the new flattened group and hit delete
enable the duplicated shape from step 1.
Voila!
Check out the short video I made with the process:
