btuck6 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) Hello I am trying to make a stroke, in front and behind another object and nothing is working. Goal is to make it look like the stroke is wrapping around the spheres. Things tried: 1. Divide: rather then divide, it makes new lines and attaches the beginning and end of the curve 2. Copy/past sphere and crop to overlap small curve edge. When this is done the gradient overlay moves with the crop and this changes the color and so not an option. Thanks bt StrokeInfrontandBehind.afdesign Edited September 15, 2019 by btuck6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 There may be a better way to do this but what I did was to create a pair of no stroke, no fill curves & nested the two strokes in them so the stroke ends are hidden where they are in front of the spheres: In the attached StrokeInfrontandBehind + clipping.afdesign file I named them 'clipper 1' & "clipper 2" & manually adjusted their shapes to follow the curve of the spheres. It isn't perfect but it is pretty close.
