About Liquid Shapes and Stroke Exposure

[kkkkk]

Can I cut part of the stroke of a shape that has a liquid shapes applied to it?

No. Not directly that is.

The way liquid shapes work is that the base shape's attributes are used as the attributes of a whole new "phantom" shape that Moho creates from the stack of shapes that form the liquid shape.

You can see this shape if you press the "merge" button (but you'll lose the original shapes, along with any edge hiding / stroke exposure / etc etc they had, in so doing). If you now look at this shape, you'll see that (usually) there are points that weren't in any of the original shapes.

IOW the actual set of edges on the "phantom" shape is different, so hiding or using stroke exposure won't work on it unless and until you "merge" to create an actual shape.

So you have choices as to how to do this. Masking, extra shapes, merge ...

Thank you hayasidist.
I'll try to see if I can do it with a mask without using liquid shapes.

I would be happy if in the future it would be possible to cut out part of the stroke of a shape that has a liquid shape applied to it.
