Figma - Shape Tools and Drawing

You have three overlapping shapes: a circle, a square, and a triangle. You want to create a shape that excludes all overlapping areas between them, keeping only the unique parts of each shape. Which Boolean operation sequence should you apply in Figma?

AApply Exclude on circle and square, then Union with triangle

BApply Union on all three shapes

CApply Exclude on circle and square, then Exclude with triangle

DApply Intersect on circle and square, then Exclude with triangle

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Exclude overlapping areas between circle and square
Exclude removes overlap, keeping unique parts of circle and square.
Step 2: Exclude overlapping areas between result and triangle
Applying Exclude again removes overlaps with triangle, keeping unique parts of all three shapes.
Final Answer:
Apply Exclude on circle and square, then Exclude with triangle -> Option C
Quick Check:
Exclude sequence removes all overlaps [OK]

Quick Trick: Chain Exclude to remove overlaps among multiple shapes [OK]

Common Mistakes:

MISTAKES

Using Union which keeps overlaps
Mixing Union with Exclude incorrectly
Using Intersect which keeps only overlaps
