Hey folks,
I am a fairly new user of Inkscape and was wondering how I can create a square that has rounded corners on the top, but streight corners on the bottom?
So far, I've noticed there are only 3 nodes which I can use to modify my square. One of which is used to round the corners- but it does all 4. Is there a way I can only select 2 of the 4 corners to round?
Hi Patrick, there is a way how you can achieve this but you have to create two rectangles (one of them without rounded corners), convert them to a path (Path - Object to Path) and use boolean operation[1] "Difference" to cut off rounded corners of one side. By this you'll get rectangle with only two rounded corners. The disadvantage is that it is no longer a shape but a path, so you can not easily change the radius of rounded corners.
best regards Josef
