Abhay Pratap Singh Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Hi, I am new to affinity designer and as I was tracing some handlettered objects, I realised whenever they are overlapping it's creating a transparent hole. Can someone please tell me how can I get rid of it. I have attached the image below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulEC Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Go to Layer – Fill Mode and change it to Winding.

I need an explanation for the explanation: It's gobleydy-gook really, is there no other way to by pass the coded mathematical functions of rays stretching out into eternity across intersecting segmented shapes here please? The diagrams do illustrate something and there seems to be a logic here with fills involved and the pen tool, but apart from that I know I have failed an elementary commons sense test. Filling self-intersecting shapes Shapes which have been constructed using self-intersecting lines can be filled in two different ways: Alternate or Winding. The Alternative mode determines whether a segment of the shape will be filled by drawing a ray from that point to infinity in any direction, and counting the number of segments within the given shape that the ray crosses through. If this number is odd, the segment exists in the fill region; if even, the segment is outside the fill region. The Winding mode determines whether a segment of the shape will be filled by drawing a ray from that point to infinity in any direction, and counting the number of instances in which a segment of the shape crosses the ray. Starting from zero, one count is added each time a segment crosses the ray from left to right and one count is subtracted each time a path segment crosses the ray from right to left, from the perspective of the ray. After the number of crossings has been counted, if the result is zero, then the point is considered to be outside the fill path. Otherwise, it is inside the path. Quote Microsoft - Like entering your home and opening the stainless steel kitchen door, with a Popup: 'Do you really want to open this door'? Then looking for the dishwasher and finding it stored in the living room where you have to download a water supply from the app store, then you have to buy microsoft compliant soap, remove the carpet only to be told that it is glued to the floor.. Don't forget to make multiple copies of your front door key and post them to all who demand access to all the doors inside your home including the windows and outside shed. Apple - Like entering your home and opening the oak framed Kitchen door and finding the dishwasher right in front you ready to be switched on, soap supplied, and water that comes through a water softener. Ah the front door key is yours and it only needs to open the front door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
