FabPas Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Hi Everyone, I'm a totally newby and watching the tutorial vids didn't helped me. I just run a first trial by drawing some kind of horizontal "8" with the pen tool and adding an extra line to it (in the added picture figure A) Now i want to colorize the separate sequences (1, 2 and 3) individually. It just won't work and ends up with the colorization like seen in Figure B. When i seperate my figure with the geometry-tools the added extra line from the biginning get closed (figure C). That's not what i want. I want the three areas 1, 2 and 3 of my figure to behave as if they were three objects. I'm totally blind or dumb or whatever - I just didn't get it. Can anyone help me? In a second step I want to try to combine the areas 2 and 3 to one single area and get rid of the intersection line (figure D) I'm still looking for some kind of merging tool. Thanks a lot Fabian Edited January 29, 2020 by FabPas Quote
Staff DWright Posted January 29, 2020 Staff Posted January 29, 2020 Hi @FabPas, To remove the line in figure D you can use the node tool to break the nodes at each en of the line from the rest of the shape and then delete the line Quote
FabPas Posted January 29, 2020 Author Posted January 29, 2020 Hi @DWright, thank you very much. I did as you told. The Result looks like I wanted to look optically. (figure E) But still I can't fill it. As seen in figure F my whole shape is made out of two curves, that are still open, though the nodes of each one snaps to the path of the other. So I do understand why the program fills my shape like in figure G, but that's not what I want. I want the two areas in figure E to behave like two separate objects. Still looking for some kind of "shape builder"-tool to fix it. Any suggestions? Quote
