Hello Ali and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

Thanks for letting us know what you would like to utilize within the software.

We do have the ability to group objects, which you can read about in this documentation, but I'll get your feature request submitted on merging shapes in Storyline.

If you have this already built in PowerPoint, please keep in mind that you can import those slides if needed as well.

The shape combine subtract feature is more powerful than grouping it makes storyline closer to illustrator also if we could also edit points and use bezier curves it would really make storyline a powerful illustration tool.

I vehemently agree with the need for all of these functions.

Hello I would also very much be interested in using the merge shapes>subtract function similar to in PowerPoint as a native feature within Storyline to create powerful emphasis like demonstrated by Richard Goings here https://www.elearninglearning.com/frs/10548215/legendary-presentations--elearning--sales-collateral--and-defeating-death-by-powerpoint/download

I definitely want to add these features to SL. I would also strongly suggest adopting the 'morph' features in PPT and Keynote. These are very powerful tools that we would love to use.

Hi there.

Have there been any updates on the merge option?
I love the merge tool for creating images like the ones below.

Would be a great addition to Storyline.

Hi Chris and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

I do not have an update on this feature, but I've submitted this on your behalf as well.

I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful.

I want that. I feel the shape options in the program is limited and the Merging tool will encourage a lot of users to make their desired shapes. This can be helpful if designers need to make certain shapes that are part of their branding as well.

I am putting my vote for this!
