"Transform Repeat" is an advanced but powerful modifier. It's particularly useful for fractal-like designs where a motif is repeated at multiple scales. This video shows how to create fractal spirals as well as a more advanced example where "Transform Repeat" is combined with "Merge Paths" to create a fractal plant design.

![How To Make a Layered Letter Charm
In this livestream, we learn how to design a layered letter charm. We use the Remove Holes and Boolean Difference modifiers to separate the inlay shapes so that we can cut them from a different material. We then use the Expand or Offset modifier to create a backer. We also see how we can use components to separate the different parts of the design.
