Dxd Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Dummy Question here. I create this series of shapes with pen tool and some circles as guides. I would like to fill these 'kind of perspective shapes' with 3 colors. But why it fill like that? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but I made a long course about the tools, interface, etc of Affinity Design! But sometimes I feel like I have lack of workflows to do things like that. For example, to do this design I made: A circle, then use pen to draw the central curved lines, then use pen to draw over a 1/4 circle. I select 3 curves and select geometry merge curves (because I try with join/add and do not work). If I try to gress what is wrong with this merge, I cannot. I suppose you create it with another workflow and it's exact what I want! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need three separate vector objects .This shows how you could do it: I was lucky this time. Sometimes the divide operation adds tons of junk to the result. In that case just delete them. EDIT: I wasn't lucky. Divide failed and made strange segments as shown in the last seconds of the video. But the method is correct. EDIT EDIT: We are still waiting for Serif to *finally* fix the bugs and poor algorithms in divide In case something was cut off: Create a half circle with the segment tool Convert it to curves (control + enter) Duplicate it (control + j) Position it Use the divide boolean operator Dxd 1 Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."
