CS5: Coloring Anchor Points

Hello. Clearly I am missing something simple beginner. I'm working on a tutorial, and the indications that I'm in are the following:

Step 16:

Select the shape of the bottom and the mesh tool (U) allows to add an anchor point in the left corner, exactly in the middle of the shape of the bottom as shown.
Paint all the anchor points down of this form with r: 0, G:0, B:0. And paint the points of the best anchor points with R:135, G:96, B:66.

Here is the tutorial if you want the Visual reference: ustrator http://vector.tutsplus.com/tutorials/illustration/how-to-make-a-magic-book-using-adobe-ill /

I create a book, and it's at the base, while he was basically two rectangles with a semi-circle in the middle like a spine. I used the NET tool to create a line that divides the shape. I have to assume the cracks behave differently, because I couldn't split paths to make separate, and modifying segments filling of the form ignores the mesh line. So I guess now that a path of mesh is not counted as a normal path. But he tells me to paint all points anchor and two different colors... How the hell can I do?

I click on the gradient tool, it does not appear anything else that paste a gradient on things slider, which does not affect the fill color.
Grasping the shape and change color in color the entire shape fill Panel changes...
Select the Group and try to make a gradient in the gradient panel does nothing, it does not yet record as something that can be filled.

So who exactly these directions ask me to do?

Thank you very much!

It seems that the instructions missing essential information for people who are not very familiar with Illustrator.

To add a fill to a gradient mesh point, you must first select the direct Selection tool, which is the key has, and then click each item you want to change the gradient mesh. To make this process faster, click and drag on the points that you want to include while holding down the SHIFT key. In this way, you have select each point precisely and can be a little more flexible with what you select. But keep in mind that all the points that you surround yourself with the direct Selection tool will be selected so according to the shapes in your file by dragging through them, maybe not the best option.

Then with the points chosen, you can go into your color palette and change the color of these points. You will know that the points are selected because they will be filled with a solid color while the unsuccessful points will be 'hollow' which is just a fancy way of saying they're going to be filled with white.

  • ATTRACT THE ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR CC PROBLEM (IN MILLIONS OF ANCHOR POINTS)

    Hey guys,.

    I paint mainly hand free images on draw for transfer on CC Illustrator to create T-shirts on my Mac book Pro.

    They yield without problems, but when they come through here is like millions of anchor points (which literally planting my Mac even if its brand new with very good specifications) and loads of layers.

    Also, when I change outline/background color to match my color of T-Shirt Basic, he treats as if there are two separate features around the line.

    Is anyway to turn it into a normal vector without so many anchor points (excluding the rounded tool) more as if she was drawn on Illustrator?

    Thank you

    Laurence

    (Sorry for the bad description, I am new to the draw and Illustrator)

    Hi Laurence,.

    Even if it's a conversation, I had with a number of people who use a draw... Brushstrokes in the draw are as a form of task of Illustrator and it is currently not possible to obtain a simple/single track in the middle of the race... and I don't know if changing this algorithm of drawing is even considered at this stage.

    I know that to redraw the strokes in Illustrator CC, is an excruciatingly long process and I'll pass your comments along to the product team.

    There are a lot of people on the forums who have raised the same issue and I would like there was more I could do to help. I hope it is useful to at least understand what's happening.

  • How can I move two anchor points overlapping of distinct objects at the same time?

    Please refer to the picture for clarification:Capture.JPG

    Pink and blue objects in the image are distinct forms that have the same number of vertices/inkings. The forms have been generated with ArcGIS and exported to a. File to HAVE it. I need to move the anchor points of these two forms, so that they create a trail that follows the outline of the layer of the topography, but it seems that I can only move the anchor of a shape at the same time. Is there a way to pass the two anchors both (anchors that overlap, one of each shape)?

    I should also add and subtract some of the anchor so while making it so each anchor is not a 'corner '.

    I want to essentially merge or merge the anchor points of the two forms while maintaining the two colors, so that they share a border.

    Any help will be a life saver! I can try to clarify if it is not supposed. Thanks in advance!

    -Jake

    Jake,

    You can click on selection of object through only in preferences, then after the first deselect all ClickDrag (click outside paths) with the tool directly on each game Selection and then ClickDrag to move (you can simply go to set).

  • Central anchor point?

    I am trying to create a star using the scale property. Keyframe initially to 100% > keyframe to end - 200%.

    But I can't figure out how to extend evenly in all directions - that he would do if the anchor point have been at the center of the circular Star (at least, I think that this is the problem?) Is there a way I can fix the anchor point in the Center then the star / star is not as 'stray' on the side as it grows. Thank you much for the help!

    AE CS5.5

    To change the position of the anchor point:

    1. Select the layer you want to change the anchor point

    2 Select the tool of anchor point of the toolbar or use the keyboard shortcut (y)

    3. place the anchor (it looks like reticle scope with a circle)

    A puncture of the frame is attached.

    You can also automatically move the anchor point to the center of your layer with the hotkey (Ctrl + Alt + Home) If you use Windows.

    Hope that helps.

  • Illustrator cc 2014 adds anchor points to the guides

    What is happening with the Illustrator CC 2014! I placed a guide for where to add a cliked of anchor point on the Add anchor point tool, but when I select the object I want to add the anchor point that adds an anchor point to the guide! so I blocked the thinking guide that would solve the problem, that it is then for me a poster that says attention please use on a segment of the path it still considers that the guide is a path!

    TIF,

    Are you sure that you select the path, not the guid?

    Maybe it's time to look at the list.

    The following is a general list of things you can try when the question is not in a specific file (you tried/made some of them already). 1 and 2) are easier for temporary strangenesses and 3) and 4) specifically preferences might be corrupt); ((5) is a list in itself and 6) is the last resort.

    (1) close Illy and open again.

    (2) restart the computer (you can do that up to 3 times);

    (3) close Illy and press Ctrl + Alt + Shift / Cmd + Option + shift during startup (easy, but irreversible);

    4) move the folder (follow the link with this name) with closed Illy (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);

    5 look through and try the relevant among the other options (click on the link with that name, item 7) is a list of the usual suspects among other applications which can disturb and confuse Illy, point 15) applies to the maybe CS5, CS6 and CC);

    Even worse, you can:

    (6) uninstall, run the vacuum cleaner tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and then reinstall.

  • Need help to remove the small white lines between attached forms. Still visible even after aligning anchor points.

    Hey, I'm new here, so many apologies if the community has been asked this question several times before. I do a quick search, but couldn't find an answer to my problem anywhere. Would be very grateful for help.

    I'm quite a beginner with Illustrator, so this may be something embarrassing simple!

    But as the title says, I have a very frustrating problem, trying to create an image of polygon. I've been using the pen tool to make triangles, then join all my anchor points with the horiz/vertical align Center. Roads joined look good, until I have add color... Triangles have a very light white line on them, I have tried to delete the anti alias, which solves the problem, but then the triangles look pixelated. Even when you import into Photoshop the pale lines are visible, as well as when the file is merged or saved as a JPG file.

    I've seen some very impressive polygon art and forms look seamless when joined.

    Here is an example of the problem. Ideally, I'd like that forms merged without rough lines.

    See you soon! Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    BRI,

    I just read it again.

    align the center of horiz/vertical

    works on objects, rather than Anchor Points.

    You can have triangles which fail to assemble completely.

    Try this, smart guides are your friends:

    Starting with the last triangle (you can see the stacking order in the layers palette), click the path to find) and work your way upward as follows:

    1) click on the lower triangle with the selection tool.

    2) click on one of the neighbors, and move it to the bottom to be second in the stacking order, then move it a little far, then ClickDrag back by one of the Anchor Points to be aligned corresponding to the lower anchor (Smart Guides say anchor when you are there).

    (3) with the ClickDrag Direct selection tool other anchor Point to snap (you can drag a bit far and back until the Smart Guides say anchor);

    Who should ensure a full adjustment between the two less triangles

    4) continue until you are finished with the other triangles.

  • Too many anchor points and simplify the mess to the top of the photo

    I take a picture and I have a problem - I need a maximum of 2000 anchor points, and I have about 11 k.

    Looks like I have a lot of useless points, but when I try to simplify the image gets all messed. Another way to solve this problem?

    Here is a part of the image, we see that many of the points do not have to be there...

    Lars Jørgen,

    Whatever the version, you should be able to:

    (1) select a red path and select > same > fill color,.

    (2) pathfinder > unit/add to shape area (you may need to press Alt/Option to get simple traces if yes, you will get a warning about it);

    (3) separate if you wish.

    Who should group all sets of overlapping paths of this color in unique paths, some of which may be composed of paths, with all the unnecessary layers and their Anchor Points removed.

    Edit: If you use British English in the first sentence, you can spell it without getting caught by the filter of the nanny.

  • Select the anchor point of the Group and anchor it to the PointInsertion

    Hi all

    How to select the anchor point of the Group and dock it at the point of insertion of the document in indesign cs5.5 using javascript or vb.net

    You need get a reference to your group - call the myGroup - and the other to the PointInsertion where you want it anchored - call - the myIP. Given those, you can achieve your goal (in CS5 or later) by:

    myGroup.anchoredObjectSettings.insertAnchoredObject (myIP);

    You can specify a second parameter, if you want that specifies the position of anchor:

    myGroup.anchoredObjectSettings.insertAnchoredObject (myIP, AnchorPosition.anchored);

    That should help you get started.

  • Suddenly sees anchor point handles paths.

    Hello. I'm working on a file in Illustrator CS5. All of a sudden when you use the direct Selection tool - handles and anchor points are not visible without worrying whether selected or not. They are simply not their appearance. They exist however. When I click-and - drag to select an area where I know there is an anchor point and then I use the keys keys to move the anchor point - I see the path change. But I don't see the point anchor I'm moving.

    It's all the product only on a particular file. When I open a new .as file and try to reproduce the problem - everything works fine.

    Any ideas why this is happening suddenly? I guess I accidentally hit something to change a setting, but what I can't understand. I have checked the selection and display of anchor in preferences, but can't find anything different there when comparing it to a file where everything works normally.

    Thank you

  • Merge multiple paths to a single anchor point

    Hello friends,

    I want to create a perspective of illustrator grid to use with other software.

    I would like to know if it is possible to merge several paths to an anchor point unique to a single point perspective grid that can be easily changed by moving the anchor point in the Middle, as in the picture below.

    Imgur: the most impressive pictures on the Internet

    An anchor may reach only 2 segments of track. Your image must at least consist of 2, if it is not not 4 paths. But you can select multiple anchor points (not a path) and use the Panel line up to get them exactly on the same position. Later if you want to draw a rectangle with the direct selection above them, move them around and move these selected elements.
