Filling Path with a hole

[Angelos58]

How do I have tracing the path for colorizing all band without the space at the center?

Thanks in advance.

To do this

instead of this

go to the Edit (‘...’) menu and change the Fill Mode to ‘Winding’.

Thank Alfred.

i’m on IPad and don’t know where  is Edit Menu.

 

I want to obtain an over effect, so only one band has o continue lines the other not.

The icon for the Edit menu has three dots:

Thank you again.

 

does it work also with one band over the other? Like my first image.

Mi dispiace! I misunderstood what you were trying to do. 

It should be possible, but right now I can’t think how to do it accurately.

[Angelos58]

Thank you Alfred.

 

PS. Are you Italian?

Or this way.

Then add the lines by breaking the nodes.

Or this way....

DM1, thank you very very much. Your advices are precious.

Boolean operations, yes  have to go more in deep with them.

You’re welcome, @Angelos58.

And no, I’m not Italian, but I saw from your earlier posts that you are, so I thought it would be helpful if I switched temporarily to the Italian user interface (and I discovered a bug when I switched back again).

I thought of doing it that way, but it only works well if the sides of the shape are perfectly horizontal or vertical (which is why I mentioned the problem of accuracy in my previous post). I think the other method — punch a hole and then break the curves to add new strokes — is generally the way to go.
