This tool is really magic. Take some overlapping paths and move this around to create new paths from what you select in the overlapping patterns. What would have taken a long time to create in the past, now can be done in literally seconds.

Truth is, you need to see it in action to really understand it.

Some of what we’ll demonstrate includes:

• Where to find the Shape Builder Tool
• Selecting overlapping paths and seeing how the Shape Builder Tool sees them
• Dragging your mouse to Unite shapes into one
• Add the Option Key to Subtract from shapes
• See how the Shape Builder Tool compares with the Pathfinder
• Have some fun
• and more
  

You may even find yourself using this tool to create for fun, not just for real projects.
