Cut shapes in Illustrator CC

Screen Shot 2014-12-17 at 1.48.00 AM.png
I have this vector image of a man and a brain. What I'm trying to do is to separate the upper part of the head from the rest of the body and tilt it so it seems that the brain will come out. I tried everything I can find on how to do it. When I use the knife tool to cut a straight line, nothing happens and the Scissor tool won't let me not even to try it, it comes with an error message. I tried tutorials on separation forms, but those are all simple forms like a rectangle. There are 4 forms (on each side of the face and hair) that I need to cut through. I have tried with them together, and with them removed.

I also tried to import the image into Photoshop and cut it like that, but of course, the image is rasterized when I place it in Illustrator. I am at a total loss. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

It looks like those are degraded meshes. They can not easily be sliced (try using the executioner Mesh plugin).

You can try using masks. Make a copy of the image and the mask and then half of the image in each of the copies.

    The settings that you should should work. I agree with sisham, to keep things simple and only put 5 in the first 2 fields, or your H will resemble each other.

    Now, you must have something else, and I suggest you select the element and to dissociate in the appearance menu > clear appearance. Then apply the dotted line.

  • Create a funnel shape in Illustrator CS6?

    Hello I'm trying to create a funnel shape in Illustrator which is divided into levels. For example a form of funnel with six different levels. I downloaded an example, when I tried to use a trace of the image to get the basic shape, the lines are not sharp, they are often lumpy and not right. Does anyone have advice or a way to create an image of the funnel pointy? Thank you very much!

  • Copy and paste shapes from Illustrator also brings a black background. Why?

    When you copy / paste a shape from Illustrator into Muse, it also brings a black background. Why is it happening and how it delete us?

    Thank you!

    It is a bounding box when you copy vectors from HERE and paste in the file is converted into a raster image of Muse.

    You must copy the vector shape in Photoshop and scale to the size you need and then export it. (Still Raster)

    But you can also export it as .swf and import that muse and it scales well looks good in preview even after that you redimensionnerez the form...   (No bounding box)

    Hope this helps

  • How can I get cookie cut a picture with a shape in Illustrator CS 5

    I have a photo I want to cut to fit within a thought bubble. How can I get the cloudy borders to cut this shape out of the photo? I use Illustrator CS 5 at home, but at school, I have access to iIlustrator CC 2014.

    Lou

    Put the bubble in front of the table, select both and press Cmd/Ctrl + 7. (Object > clipping mask > make)

    If you want the image to show through at the same time more of a bubble, you have to make a compound path of bubbles before applying the mask.

  • Cut shapes from other forms

    I'm not sure of the best way to go about this suggestions so very welcome!

    I have a layer containing a large number of forms. Above that, I have another layer containing many forms.

    I want to cut when higher forms cut across at the bottom.

    Now, I tried to use less prominent, but I can say it only lets remove you higher forms of a single shape on the bottom. The forms are too numerous to repeat duplication and make less front for each.

    I don't think I can use masks, either the file is for a screenshot, with each layer being a separate color none overlap.

    Is there an easy way to get what I'm after?

    Use for garnish.

  • optimization or control vector for a cutting laser by Illustrator

    I use Illustrator to make the files for laser cutting. After sending the file to laser cutting, I need to run an optimization tool to make sure that the laser is not jump rather than cutting the line closest to you just to start. I suspect, it might have something to do with the paths are not in any particular order in their diapers. I was wondering if there was a way to reorganize a layer so that paths were ordered from left to right or upward down or something like that?

    Hey Sim,

    Who would say that you need to use the Plugin for Laser Cutter part solution or a third party. Illustrator does not have this built-in feature.

    Kind regards

  • With problems of creation of basic shapes in Illustrator CC. Is there any solution for this?

    I have the latest version of the cloud of Adobe Illustrator and whenever I try to create a basic shape (circle, square, etc.), I am dragging to create the shape, it is all of a sudden, it darkens at a weird angle. For example, if I am trying to create a basic square, when dragging to create shape, a tilted Rhombus will be created instead. Even with a circle. I would try and create a circle, but all that comes out is a slanted oval. Why is this happening? I tried to exit the program and open up again. As well as resettlement. I seem to be out of options until a fix is implemented, unless I want to make all my forms... I don't want to have to do...

    Usually looking persepctive grid. Press Cmd + shift + I and then draw again.

  • How to make this shape in illustrator?

    Hello

    Shape.pngI want to make this shape in adobe illustrator, but I don't want to draw a path, is there an option that makes the sides rounded? photo shape was designed in adobe, effects, I made six sides of the polygon and there is an option in AE called "Outer roundness" that makes the sides rounded, but I can't find any option like this in illustrator, someone has an idea?

    Thank you

    To get something closer to your example, I tried the combination (using Pathfinder > unit) a (copy of the) Hexagon with corners applied and the other with a small amount of bloat (effect > Distort & Transform > Pucker & bloat), to round off the coast.

  • You can add a shape in Illustrator to your form library to be used inside the draw?

    I have a few files of logos and some stuff already created in vector that I would use as "shapes" in the draw... I have them in a CC library... but when I go to the draw and try to change for this library, it says "0 shapes.

    How can I do this?

    I prefer not to have to save them in JPEG format and load them on my phone, and then form to recognize them in the adobe form CC CA. seems there should be an easier way.

    Unfortunately, Adobe draw currently supports only forms that have been created by the application of form to Adobe. It currently does not support generic svg or svg files exported from Illustrator. Your request is not uncommon, but I have no info on if or when that will be supported.

    Hope that helps,

  • Manufacturing arc cut shape of multiple objects

    As seen in the attached picture, I would like the shape of the Red arc to cut in the Green logo that it sits on top of, all with the Red arc disappear and reveal the transparent bg. I tried a bunch of different ways that I read these forums, but none of them does not seem to work. Of course, Miss something. The Green Shield logo is composed of several objects. The closest I had was the shape of the arch cut up some green logo objects, but not all of them, and the shape of the arch has not cut as an arc, but rather as the original rectangle. The arc is created with a regular rectangle with effect of arc.http://youthcombine.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Screen-Shot-2013-12-11-at-11.46.35-AM.png

    You must first develop the effects on all the objects using object > expand appearance.

    Then, you can use the 'Merge' pathfinder (from the control panel). Remove the Red object.

    If you want it remains editable instead, use an opacity mask. You have even to develop everything first. But then you have to take care before production.

  • How to draw concentric circles using shapes in illustrator drawing

    I am on the iPad and try to draw concentric circles from a diameter of 1 cm

    the circle of form Adobe seems to have that one size.

    am I missing something?

    Hello Gita,

    The circles in the menu form from raffle can be resized.

    When you click a shape, Slide Touch open with her.

    Tap one finger (concentric circles) guides to get the shape you want to change (circles, squares and triangles).

    Once you see the shape you want, it can be reduced or enlarged by placing your fingers or the other side of the contour and making dragging/pinch.

    You can 'stamp' shape on the canvas by double-clicking on the contour (will be described with all that brush you chose).

    If you want to change a circle to an oval, when you have the size you want, now pressure on the main lines. Depending on where the sketch you press you will see either a vertical or a horizontal line in the middle of the form. As soon as you see who... Drag. Give it a try.

    Hope that helps.

    Sue.

  • How to make small pieces of form in a solid shape in illustrator?

    I downloaded a vector printing it is a camouflage design with forms made from pieces of mosaic.

    It's the sample:Screen Shot 2015-08-08 at 9.45.23 AM.png

    As you can see, the colored blocks are actually all the little pieces separated, but they are the form of the OMB. What I was trying to do was to make these pieces together a solid form. I want to do the solid WHITE. The only thing I could do was to use the pen tool and just shoot to make this filling Uni. As you can see, I tried to do this for 2 of them. But I was wondering if there was a faster way to achieve this? Because ultimately, I want to do it for all the colored pieces - because I like the shape of the OMB here. Or I would go only a few pieces of mosaic. The gray part of this image is a solid background color. These are all pieces of distinct vectors.

    I hope this makes sense? I just hope there is a quick solution to fill these pieces in full solid.

    Thank you!!!
