Inkscape Mini Tutorial - Using Geometric Grids with the Shape Builder @2dgameartguru

Uploaded May 2023 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

In this video, I will show you how to use basic geometric grids with the shape builder tool.

The shape builder is one of the great additions in v1.3 of Inkscape. Once you get your head around it, it is extremely helpful and pretty straightforward. This video shows the use of the geometric grids I designed for an easy entry into Shapebuilder. Open a grid from the SVG files, duplicate the base group [in order to keep the base shapes as they get lost in the shape-building process], and get creative with the tool.
