: Subtracting two shapes in Sketch produces odd result I'm trying to subtract two shapes in Sketch 3.0.3. One outer oval and one inner oval, with the inner one being a partially cut out oval

I'm trying to subtract two shapes in Sketch 3.0.3. One outer oval and one inner oval, with the inner one being a partially cut out oval shape (shown in green).

This is before:


And this is after subtracting the two shapes as selected in the sidebar:


The result I expect is for the green shape to be subtracted. Instead the transparent part of the green shape is subtracted as well.

What am I doing wrong?

I made a short video showing how you could make any type of shape or graph using the Sketch. Hope this comes to help!

You are just missing one step after subtract, you need to flatten the form (the result of the subtraction) because unlike Illustrator Sketch treats "Pathfinder-functions" (sorry come from Illustrator ;) ) like a mask. To make them to one form Flatten them to one and you can subtract again.
