Cobalt7 Imaging Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 The best way is to just nest another shape and move into position.

Cobalt7 Imaging Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 Thanks @firstdefence - I considered that, and in hindsight would be the easiest way. I got obsessed with slicing it, though, so now I'm curious if that's possible. I keep reading about a knife tool, but it's been talked about for months/years it seems.

firstdefence Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 It is possible, you can use Boolean Operation: Divide and delete the unwanted parts. There is no knife tool or scissor tool at the moment so boolean operations and nesting are the best for now methods.

Cobalt7 Imaging Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 Duh, yeah, that's what I needed, it just wasn't registering in my feeble old brain. Thanks, @firstdefence! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
