Spaced Rectangles/Bars in a circle

[MarcoFace]

Hello there,

Bit of a noob question so apologies in advance.

I've created these different coloured rectangles and I want to cut off the ends so that the bars form a circle. You can see where I am now and a "what I'm trying to achieve" screen shot as well. Ignore the white cut-out in the middle.

What is the best way to achieve this?

Thank you!

One way is, to group all the rectangles together and then clip that group underneath to the circle/ellipse, aka ...

To do the same thing but including the white cut-out, start by placing the cut-out shape on top of the ellipse, selecting both shapes and performing a Boolean ‘Subtract’ (either via the icon in the Geometry section of the toolbar or via the command on the ‘Layer > Geometry’ submenu). Clipping the group of rectangles to the new shape will give you the result you showed at the end of your original post.
