Complex shape - merging paths: intersect. Possible without fusion of color?

I have a complex shape with many groups.

Its a House that uses a lot of expressions to generate random and characteristic colors.

--

There are 3 major groups placed perfectly on top of eachother.

  • Outside of the House (bricks, windows, door, door handle and roof)
  • On the inside of the House (walls, furniture)
  • The scaffolding

As you can imagine each group is filled with many small groups

For example only in the outdoor group

  • External group
    • Doors
      • Door handles
      • Patterns
      • Repeater (for double doors)
    • Roof
    • Façade
      • Windows
      • Features
      • Brick
      • Behind the bricks color

What I'm trying to add is a fusion railways operator to act as a mask for

-the 'outdoor group' so when the path is changed he reveals the Interior of the House

- and below the "inner group" so I can pull this mask and reveal the scaffolding.

A bit like a wipe on each 'level' that I can control. I thought I could do it with Intersect because it works on the individual paths, however...

If I add one on what it seems to merge the first color to fill the rest of the forms turning all one-colour forms.

To do this with realism I should add a form with the railways of the merger within each subgroup and the link back to a ' master '? Seems a very intense memory and I feel like it should be more simple. Am I missing something? A mask can be assigned to a group in a form?

Please help me

Basically, how can I hide an individual complex group (subgroups containing) within a single form? (Must be monolayer for random expressions and others to work)

separate your groups of form in different layers will make it much easier to manage. uses a simple layer for your shape mask a problem? Often, I find that the use of masks on a shape layer saves me a huge headache. of course, it means that you must set the group desired to a separate layer shape. Maybe you'll find this handy script: 3 of shape layers explode aescripts.com - aescripts + aeplugins - , it supports the workflow from the use of the different layers for shapes and not all in one.

  • How to merge paths of objects grouped in a path?

    I'm having a problem merging paths of several objects in a path. Does anyone know how or if it is still possible?

    I guess that you have prepared the work in a manner that it is possible.

    I would then separate these pieces in layers (just to make sure that it will work)

    Then focus on each layer and simplify what can be simplified. Also combine things as much as possible to reduce the objects (use the pathfinder Panel). Then make transparent traces (this will be may not be not required - check with the person who will be this code)

    Based on the layers it is also perhaps to export SVG. There are a few scripts available to perform the export. It is dynamic by nature, so I'll leave you with the search expression: https://www.google.de/search?q=adobe+illustrator+layer+export+script

  • Merge paths?

    A basic but important feature that would be very welcome is fusion of the paths that we can do with the layers. For example, we have three files of objects with clipping paths, and we need to combine them into a single file with a clipping for each path. Currently, this would mean beginning with a path and to redo the other two or to keep all three as of paths separated.

    Thank you.

    Certainly, you can merge paths. Of course, separate objects can be more flexible on the layout...

    Perhaps explain a bit more about what you are trying to reach. If x path is highlighted in the doc a and you drag into the path y of b doc, there is added to x. Then you can combine them. You can also copy and paste paths in the other and then combine them.

  • Merge paths with the same fill color

    Hello

    I'm trying to use pathfinder to merge paths with the same colors. I have a lot of colors, so that Select > same fill color would solve my problem, it is very slow.

    My typical workflow is basically by selecting the same colorful and using pathfinder (unite) paths to combine. If the paths have different colors that he would do all the unique color of merged paths. It does not work.

    I want to combine only the paths with the same fill color with the other, but I couldn't come up with a good workflow.

    Someone had a similar problem/situation? What are my options?

    I appreciate all the help.

    Hi career,.

    You can stay connected to creative cloud to two devices at the same time.

    If you want to use on the third device, you must disconnect from one of the other two devices so that you can connect to the third.

  • When drawing complex shapes in CC...

    When you draw complex shapes in 2014 CC, why I am not able to change the width of the stroke to anything below 1 pt? I can draw a simple basic square/rectangle/circle but if I combine with each other, the race immediately bumps up to 1 PT. try to change what anyone less than 1 PT. only returns the form to 1 pt.

    In the transform palette, turn off snap to grid of pixels for existing objects and then in the flyout, uncheck Align new objects to the pixel grid.

  • is it possible to change the color of the marker after the fact as a prelude?

    I love prelude as a program for recording of my images. I have a number of markers that have different colors, but I would like to know if it is possible to change the color of the marker after it's done. I know that this can easily be done in first, but why not as a prelude?

    First, you can easily change color even way of a marker after after the marker was done...

    Screen Shot 2014-12-09 at 10.03.31 PM.png

    .. then why you can't edit a comment marker color as a prelude?


    Conversely, why first does not respect the colours of marker in the prelude, and has rather by default them all green? This should be addressed in the next update.

    Otherwise, there is no reason to be multicolored markers in prelude if all change the default is green once they appear in the first.

    Hi Ninosel,

    Thanks for pointing it. Currently, it is not possible to change the colors of the markers, after that they were recorded, in the prelude to the way in which it can be made into Pre Pro.

    Well, the colors are editable, even after cutting, but the colors of the markers would change. Consider the following scenarios:

    1. add some markers; Comments and subitems on any multimedia file. Go to editing Preferences-->--> marker. Select the marker type and the corresponding color. Ok

    Back to the scenario where you connected to certain markers. The colors of all the same type of markers would be changed.

    However, you can have different colors for different markers of the same type.

    2. I hope you tried the models tag of prelude--> window--> tag. With tags, you can set tags of different colors. They work as comment markers.

    You can create tags of 100 francs of colors and save them in media files.

    Although you will not be able to change the color of the already signed tags/comments, but surely you can change the colors of the tags as well & easily as pre pro.

    Tags also give a wide range of colors, so maybe you won't feel like by changing the colors of the markers after cutting.

    I hope it helps. Do not respond in the case of any confusion.

    Thank you

  • Possibility to change the color of the text in a text layer?

    Hello

    Is it possible to change the color value of a text via ExtendScript layer?  I scanned the documentation, but didn't notice anything that would allow me to access this property immediately.  Is this possible?  Otherwise, there is no work around?


    Thank you

    Arie

    Change the text color to Red:

    var app.project.activeItem = myComp;

    var myTextLayer = myComp.layer (1);

    var mySourceText = myTextLayer.property("ADBE_Text_Properties").property ("ADBE Text Document");

    var myTextDoc = mySourceText.value;

    myTextDoc.fillColor = [1, 0, 0];

  • IS THIS POSSIBLE AND IF YES COLOR 'HOW' TO HAVE DIFFERENT LINKS ON THE SAME PAGE?

    Hello

    IS THIS POSSIBLE AND IF YES COLOR 'HOW' TO HAVE DIFFERENT LINKS ON THE SAME PAGE?

    How to replace the color of Page link?

    See you soon,.

    Dreamer101.1

    Yes, it is possible, using CSS.

    Here's how. You already know that the link colors are set in the following css rules:

    • a: link
    • a: active
    • a: visited
    • a: hover

    All you have to do to have another set of links of different colors is to create another set of rules that set different colors and also have different names:

    • a.name1:link
    • a.name1: active
    • a.name1:visited
    • a.name1:hover

    Can link you these rules to the anchor as a class tag: something.

    You can have as many sets of rules to link given that the names you can think of.

    Happy linking!
