Paste inside with groups - How?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am trying to add a sun highlight to a group of buildings I made, but I can't figure out how to do it. This is what I'm doing:

 

 

1. Make shape for sun highlight. Use "cut" command (Cmd+X)

2. Select building group and go to Edit>Paste Inside

 

The screen shot is what I get. Any ideas?

 

I guess the issue is pasting inside of groups right?

 

Thanks

Yes, that's the problem. You can only paste inside a single object.

In which group (or better, In which object) should Affinity paste inside?

 

In your case you can duplicate the main rectangles of the buildings, add them (boolean operation) to create a single object, remove its fill and stroke and then paste the sun highlight inside it to get the result you're after.
