BHIP Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Good Morning, I'm having a heck of a time with Expand Stroke. I've been all over the forum and I still don't understand. Attached is a Geometric Eye. I want to make all the segments an individual shape so I can color each one differently. I honestly made it work once last week. I got everything to connect to make every segment it's own shape. And then I lost it. I've been all over the forums again, looking at every topic on expand stroke and I cannot, for the life of me, recreate what I did. Is there a tutorial out there or a Mov? Thanks for all your help.

crabtrem Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 If I understand you correctly. And each segment is the individual line segments between crossovers. I think you want to select all your objects, and use the divide boolean. I believe the expand stroke only separates the stroke from the fill as two separate objects. There is a tutorial for expand stroke, but I will have to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crabtrem Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 You might also consider using the Boolean combine, and using the gradient tool to cause a multi-color type of look across your design too. Something to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHIP Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Thanks. The Divide Shape worked. I should have gone to school for this. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
