Fill complex shape

Post by Asterix »

Here is what I found that is the fastest for me to fill complex shape.
I notice the create shape tool will pair well with what the add point tool will create.
It's important to weld manualy or have auto-weld on in the add point tool when you draw.

False selection
Sometime you create a shape, great, but in the Style section the fill is uncheck and uncheckable. It need to be deleted.
You might have try alot of thing, so I will make you delete all shape.

In style click shape
Check one by one if they have a fill checked.
If one or many have no check, click in their name, then delete the text and press Enter. It will delete it.

Once those bad non fillable shapes are deletes do the follow to create a fill shape
1. Press (U) create shape
2. Click on a segment (side)
3. Zoom back.
4. Look what it's selected.
5. Click and drag around all point that you don't want.
6. You can also remove points by clicking on them.
7. Click all points you want in your shape.
If you don't have a shape, keep clicking on points to create a shape.
It should fill by itselve, when you have one
Oh but it's not over. You need to press SPACE bar.
Then back in the style you can give it a name.

With that I was able to fill shape really complex.
