    Hi there,

    I’m trying to do up a cartoon face rig where I subtract a rectangle from the top of the eyes to give the impression of eyelids. I want to rig it with Joysticks & Sliders:

    I can achieve it by using masks but I’d like to know if I could do it with shapes, which would give better realtime control with Joysticks & Sliders as shapes have Positions controls while mask paths do not.

    So basically, can I subtract 1 Shape from another?
