I already shared my file. Download the image from #2 above.
Draw three shapes: A, B and C Select and copy shape B. Select shape A. Apply the boolean LPE and [Link to shape]. Select and copy shape C. Select shape A. Apply the boolean LPE again and [Link to shape].
Wow ! works like a charm on complex patterns with many colors : a good alternative to multiple boolean operations extension (wonky, to me). The ingredients for a future "pattern > flatten" ?ย
Something has definitely improved in v1.4.2.ย It was very difficult to do that in 1.3.2. I would end up with artifacts outside of the cutting object that I would have to break apart and delete. If I broke it apart then everything would go black fill.ย
Yes indeed - you can intersectย complex objects with different colors now. Maybe we are very close to a simple "Pattern>Flatten"?ย ย ย
Hi guys,
did I missed anything?ย ๐คทโโ๏ธ
How can I create an LPE boolean effect with Inkscape 1.4 if I can't select more than two shapes at the time?ย ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Very confused...ย ๐ค
Thanks...ย ๐

Add the path effect once more for each additional shape. This example combines three shapes.
Hi @Paddy_CAD thanks...
Maybe I am doing the steps wrongly, this is what I understood:
Those steps do not produce any result on my end.

Can you share your file so I can inspect it?
Thanks...ย ๐

Similar concept:

Select and copy shape B.
Select shape A. Apply the boolean LPE and [Link to shape].

Now I get it, it is totally counter intuitive and cumbersome...ย ๐ต
Booleans always confuse me. That is why I jumped up in joy when Inkscape introduced the Shape Builder tool.
