Inputs

Inputs grow as you wire them in - this node adds sockets as you connect.

Outputs

  • Region (region): subject A with B subtracted.

What it is for

Cuts one region out of another: whatever B covers is removed from A, and what is left of A comes out.

Order matters here, unlike Union and Intersect. The first region wired in is the one being cut; swap the two and you get the opposite piece. Both inputs have to be regions, so run Region: Curves first if you have loose curves.
