Hey Guys,
Between watching YouTube video tutorials, and just trying to learn by doing, I am still frustrated doing some basic design work. I have attached a few pictures of what I am trying to do. I am taking a file from ACAD and bringing it in to inkscape. When I try to modify it, some weird things happen. I have tried to recreate the drawing from scratch in inkscape but am having similar issues. What am I doing wrong. The first picture is what I am looking to do in inkscape. The last picture is what I get when I try to add fill. Thanks for the help.

Hi.

That bottom image shows the path you are working with has some nodes split.
Use the node tool to merge those double nodes -"Join selected nodes", the icon's tooltip says-, and then it should look as expected.

Lazur,
Thank you so much for your help. It worked MAGICALLY! I think you were the one that helped me with my ACAD question. I still need to figure out why those nodes are broken when imported into inkscape. I really appreciate your help.

You are welcome!
