Cut complex node structure

[madebywitteveen]

Hi you all !

After fidelling some time with the node tool I gave up..................

Please take a look at the horn-original, the idea is to entirely cut the middle section of the horn.

But that's easier said then done 🙂

each node which I cut gives more and more 'black' instead of 'white' area because they are all connected somehow.

how to proceed? it almost seems that drawing a new one from scratch is faster ?!

any thougths?

 

thanks

Quick and dirty
Construct an ellipse above the horn
Select both
Boolean subtract
Tidy up the details with the node tool

I am going to assume that this is a Designer file/document. And I am assuming this is a Curves layer (Curves not Curve).

I would be tempted to just duplicate the layer (for safety) then draw a Curve in the centre area and then do a boolean subtract.

I've first would rasterize that (make a bitmap out of it), remove/overdraw the inner parts and save the result as JPG/PNG. Then afterwards vectorize the result to get again vectors here!

Excellent advice

Here's my go

Thanks a lot guys ! 

That did the trick 🙂

The plan is the project the horn with my laser but the figure was too complex for the laser.

That's why I had to reduce the number of paths

 

best regards
