Hi Micp,

 

There is no (yet) tool to do it directly.

For a circle you can use the tool "Segment": draw a segment, copy it and paste it several times on itself. Always with the "Segment" tool, move the orange dots to adjust the height of each part. You can tilt the segment itself for other positions. You can then change the colors.

For other shapes you can draw a line as thin as possible that protrudes on both sides of the shape. With the selected line, menu "Layer", "Expand the stroke" (1) and perform a Boolean "Divide" operation (2) between the form and the stroke. Then delete the parts of the line that are outside the shape. Put the part of the line that remains inside the shape of the color of one of the two shapes created to avoid having a visible separation.

Repeat the operation if you want other divisions.

Another method posted by someone on this forum, I forgot who, I hope he will forgive me for not quoting him!

Draw a shape, put it in a color. Copy this shape, paste it on itself, change its color.

Draw a rectangle and in the "Layers" tab of the studio move its thumbnail on the right of the thumbnail of the upper shape (a small vertical blue rectangle appears here). On the page, place the rectangle where you want it to fit.
