    When I clip. It will remove the image on the other side but on the selection box it still appears to be a complete group of images. Where am I making a mistake?

    • @InkscapeArtWithTom
      @InkscapeArtWithTom Місяць тому

      Hmmm, you're probably not making a mistake. Are you moving the clipped image off to the side? In this process we duplicate the original image first and I wonder if the selection box is of the duplicated larger image? Also, clips can be released using Object > Clip > Release Clip, but I don't think that is really the issue. If you would like to send me an email with screenshots it may help me see what is happening (InkscapeArtWithTom@gmail.com). Take care!

    Very interesting, thanks for the video. I confess that I had never heard of this style and I find it very attractive. I tried to look for some of the pieces that did not work with shape Builder to do some tests, but I did not find them. Anyway, that solution you have found seems very clever to me. 💯

    • @InkscapeArtWithTom
      @InkscapeArtWithTom 2 місяці тому

      Thanks Marcos! Hey, if you want to do some testing with the sun and the building, I can send you the original files from Vecteezy. Just send me an email to InkscapeArtWithTom@gmail.com and I'll reply with the files. One file is a .eps and the other is a .ai, so maybe the issue lies with importing them into Inkscape. Take care!

    • @CTRL_SMarcos
      @CTRL_SMarcos 2 місяці тому

      ​@@InkscapeArtWithTom Thank you, it is not necessary. I have downloaded some files from Vecteezy and tested them. I have downloaded eps, ai and svg of the same drawing and the same thing happens with Shape Builder. So I imagine it is because of the way it was built, independent of the file type. I have not found a solution other than the method you used.

      Hi Ray. I'm currently on version 1.3.2 which is the current stable version. I think at the time of recording this mandalas video, I was either on 1.3 or 1.3.1. I have found that upgrading versions is relatively painless and certainly worth it for the newer features. Cheers!

    • @InkscapeArtWithTom
      @InkscapeArtWithTom 3 місяці тому

      Thanks for watching @Atezz29! I felt I needed to speed up the video to prevent it from being twice as long. Here are the steps to create the "drops" as seen from the 23:40 point in the video: Use the Ellipse tool to draw a vertical ellipse. Apply Path > Object to Path to convert the object to a path and provide access the path nodes. Using the Nodes tool select the top node. Convert it into a corner node using the diamond node button in set of node formats at the top. Still using the Nodes tool, select both of the middle nodes with a bounding box. Hold the Ctrl key and drag one of them down, which moves both of them down. Go back to the Selection tool and resize as needed while holding down the Ctrl key to keep the proportions the same. Feel free to ask about anything else if you like. Take care!
