Hello Perry,

You'll want to use path operations - from what I can tell from your image, you'll want to first subtract the black box from the big blue one, then union all the blue boxes. Check out this page for more details on how to do that:

(You might have to select the rect objects and then use the "Paths>object to path" menu item before any path operations will work though)

Hi,

I am new to Inkscape, and following some nice tutorials on the web..

I am trying to so something basic (I think)
and i can't figure out how to do it.

What I want is a square, and want it all merged as 1 image and have the inside cut out / transparant.

Here is an example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/icabyjmvrs0nv06/example.png?dl=0

I want to make all the seperate parts all into 1 images, and the black part I want that to be transparant.

Is it possible?
If so how?

Thank you for your time

Perry
