Hello,

Wasn't sure to put this in this topic or the other one(a bit confused). I've created a complex face in shape. When I go to fill the main part of the face, it doesn't fill, just highlight the outline. Is there an add on or something to go over the face without redoing it? I read this is caused by holes, but I can't see any anywhere(even while zoomed in as far as it goes).

Any guess?

There are two options:
1) There are holes.
2) You are selecting a set of curves where a point is connected to other by more than two possible paths.

like creating a 3-way at a point? i know this is gonna sound stupid next, but how does that matter?

[Genete]

Outlines are outlines and cannot cross the shape form side to side.
There can be points with three curves on it but there must not be more than two possible paths from a point to other (in the selection of points/curves to create the shape) because it means that the shape is divided in to pieces. Those are the rules.

i got it fixed, thanks. I'm learning all sorts of 'interesting' things about this program(that being one of them).

Hi Logan,

This issue is why the "hide edge" tool exists. It's kind of like using masks without using masks. You can draw entire objects but only reveal a portion of the edge.

I've been using the program for a full 24 hours now and while I do enjoy what the program can do, I'm learning the hard way what I can't do since it's not really documented with the users guide.

Thanks to everyone for the help anyways ^.^

Can you ask us for help with something that isn't covered in the help? Sometimes it's in there but hard to find.
