Is it possible to subtract a shape from a repeated shape using merge paths
Hi
Is this possible or impossible?
Have created a rectangle with single fill, repeat the object so there are multiple squares.
And I want to use Merge Paths to subtract / intersect another shape from the repeated result.
Any creative solutions or arrangement to the layers that would make this work?
Currently have
GROUP :
- rectangle
- repeater
- fill
- new path <–
- merge paths <– subtract/intersect
have also tried
MAIN GROUP:
SUBGROUP:
- rectangle
- repeater
- fill
- new path <–
- merge paths <– intersect/subtract
subtracting through the repeater seems to see the repeater as an object and then hides everything
any possible ideas that don’t involve creating a separate layer with a mask?

Have you tried precomposing the repeated shapes and then applying the mask on the precomp?

Depends on what you’re trying to do, but making the second rectangle the color of the background would “hide” it.
