Path Combine

Overview

Collects the subpaths from two Path documents into one Path document. Use it to keep parts that were created or processed separately in one document for drawing or transforming together. It does not join endpoints into one continuous line.

Usage tips

• The go-to pattern is "process separately, draw together": apply path_trim or path_reverse to only one side, collect both sets of subpaths, then draw everything with path_stroke.
• This only collects subpath arrays; it neither joins endpoints nor performs a Boolean operation on shapes. To add or subtract filled shapes, use path_fill and then mask_boolean.
• Chain Path Combine nodes for three or more paths.

Related nodes

• path_split — reverse direction (one path → extract subpath)

• path_stroke / path_fill — draw the combined result

• mask_boolean — combine shapes after rasterization

• segment_pack — assemble individual segments

• Version: 1

Behavior

• Appends the subpaths of Path B after the subpaths of Path A.
• If Path B is unconnected, the output document contains Path A's subpaths.
• Each subpath keeps its own open or closed state; endpoints are not joined.
