Trilvrii Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) Hello! I seem to remember being able to override a parent group/layer's fill/stroke setting without having the changes permanently propagate down to individual children in past versions. Is my memory playing tricks on me? Thanks in advance for your kind & illuminating replies! This is how it currently works: All curves were created by duplicating the top pink one & moving them. The green one is in a vector layer (Layer1) while the yellow is in a group (Group). The fill color was edited on the parent vector layer to green & parent group to yellow. Removing the two children from their parents shows they retain the parent's overridden fill color (same if stroke was modified btw). This is what I expect/remember (perhaps erroneously): Removing the two children from their parents, they return to the original objects pink color (in this case pink). (& Just to be clear, the following image was edited to show what I hoped would happen.😉) Thanks again!

walt.farrell Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 1.10.6 works the same way as V2. Changing the Fill of the parent object changes the Fill of the children. So I think you're misremembering how it works (and has worked).

You may be thinking of a Compound (non-destructive Boolean geometry) rather than a Group or Layer, because colouring a Compound does not affect its contained objects.

Yes indeed! I think you're correct. This is must be what I was remembering. Thank you, lepr! lepr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
