Moho Forum

Hello once again.

I've read a few of the tutorials .. their really well done and straight to the point.

I'm trying to set up a robot character. originally i had it all drawn as one shape interconnected and that did'nt work out cause fills went all haywire on me. After reading the tutorials i saw the one with the face and how to hide lines. I understood that you have to overlap shapes. I started breaking my robot guy apart and filling the shapes sepreately. I ran into a problem with the line fills though. I'm adding a circular shape for a joint at it seems to have thicker lines then the rest of the shapes. The setting for the width is still set at 1 for all the fills i've done. When I render the image the line weights seem thicker but they are all the same line weight though . Thats the good thing. I assume i have to make the robot bigger to get the line weights thinner? but im not to sure i think its a vector thing. I know in flash you have to convert lines to fills to fix a simmilar problem.





THank you again for any replies

Can you upload your Moho file someplace for us to take a look at? It's hard to say what's going on without seeing the file. If you use the Select Shape tool and click on the different outline shapes, are you sure they all show the same line width?

hello sorry for the late reply.. Thank you for adressing this for me lost marble. below is a full screen shot of both the drawing mode and the rendered image.

OK, I looked at your file, and here's what's going on:

The shapes all seem to use the same line width, but it looks like you also used the Line Width tool on some of the points but not all of them. The Line Width tool is generally intended for modifying the width of a line at particular points, not an entire line. To change the width of an entire line you would usually just type in a new number in the Style window.

My guess is that you drew part of the robot, use the Line Width tool on it, and then drew the arm. The arm was not modified by the line width tool to match up with the rest - this is why it looks different.

To fix it, select all the points in the layer: Edit->Select All. Then use the Draw->Reset Line Width menu command. All the points will have the same width now, and will not override the width of the shapes themselves.
