oh yeah that's what I mean... You copied a port of the ribbon without stroke to cover the seam, right?
Yeah, it's kind of time consuming to get the outlines overlapping correctly.
definite.. that can't be the best solution can it? I mean, heck.. *g there ought to be some other way.. I mean.. mmhh.. can't the outline be disabled for the side where the seam is? Or, automatically seam covering function? Same brain reading magic so the program always knows what it should do? [Ohhh please, I'd buy a magic USB brain scanner for that.. *g] oh well but you at least gave me an idea how to work around that for now. Marcel
Heh, well at least now days there are boolean operations to cut pieces out and stuff. Back when I did this art, I had to manually cut and fit all the pieces together.
I agree it'd be nice to have a programmatic way to do this. If you can code, maybe you could write a script to handle it? Then we could add that feature to Inkscape as an effect, too. :-)
