Filling a donut

[kufloyd]

I'd like to fill a donut shape so that the top part of it has a blue fill (with a wavy-shape to the fill). I created a blue shape, did Cut on it, and tried to do paste-inside the donut, but it pastes the whole shape over the donut, as opposed to fill it inside a part of the donut. 

 

Is there a better way to do this? thanks.

Is this what you're trying to do?

Don't see an file attachment button here on this forum. So that link will have to suffice for now.

thanks...actually what I'm trying to do is fill inside the donut, not in its ring. I could create two circles instead of a donut and color the interior circle but thought there might be an easier way to do it with the donut...

The inside of a donut is the ring, the filled area between its inner & outer edges. Like with a real baker's donut, the 'donut hole' is not part of the donut itself; it is part of the space where there is no donut.  ;)  

 

To do what you want, you could just add a circle beneath the donut. As long as it is centered on the donut & smaller than its outer edge & larger than its inner one, you don't have to be precise about it. Color it however you want & if desired group the two shapes together to make skewing, stretching or shrinking, etc. easier to do.

Why the donut when two circles are exactly what you need? Don´t get it.  :D

Copy the donut. Leave it in the clipboard for the moment. Divide the donut and the blue shape. Delete everything except the segment in the now broken donut. Paste the donut back into the canvas.

thanks for reminding me about donut topology :)

was just trying to learn alternative ways to do it...two circles did the job great too :)

this is a great idea too...thanks for the suggestion.
