Divide a trapezoidal-type thing into two


Recommended Posts

Newbie, learning learning learning, but this seemingly easy operation has me stumped. I want to take a trapezoid and divide it into two pieces so I can fill one section with a different color. Sounds so simple, I'm embarrassed to ask, but I've been searching all morning and can't figure it out. Here's a quick example, I want to take the main shape, divide the top off as shown, and then fill it green or whatever. Help!

The best way is to just nest another shape and move into position.

It is possible, you can use Boolean Operation: Divide and delete the unwanted parts.1000417734_ScreenShot2020-01-22at17_06_51.thumb.png.bd386615d43fd35c9ca87f960867fc5f.png

There is no knife tool or scissor tool at the moment so boolean operations and nesting are the best for now methods.
