How to copy a selection of points (shape) to a new layer?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I've downloaded an icon from www.flaticon.com and I'd like to modify it. I've got a whole shape defined in a layer and would like to copy a single shape and move it to a new layer. Any hints, please? Find gif animation attached and also the original SVG (where I want to split the "plant" to a new layer or have it as a separate object) thank you!

Here's the original SVG where I want to split the "plant" to a new layer or create a separate object:

The solution I found this far is to duplicate the layer, remove unwanted elements and keep the plant and vice-versa!

Hi, heldrida,

 

Yes, duplicate and delete what you don't want is very easy. There are other things like splitting the curves and/or self division, but they would end up being far more work.
