pjglad Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I created a 6 point star which I want to subdivide into 6 equal parallelograms so I can make them each a different color. How do I do that? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 There is probably a better way to do this, but I first made the star, then used the pen tool in polygon mode with "snap to key shape key points" & "snap to object geometry" on the toolbar enabled & "snap to selected curves" on the pen context toolbar turned on to draw the first parallelogram, using the star's nodes & center point as a guide. Then I moved that parallelogram's rotation center to the center of the star, duplicated the first parallelogram with cmd-J, rotated the dup 60° clockwise, & power duplicated 4 more times to get the remaining ones. I finished off by deleting the star & coloring each of the parallelograms a different color. Attached is an AD file of what I did with the history saved, so hopefully you can use the slider in the history panel to see better what I did. 6 pt star divided.afdesign MattP 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
