Part of image missing after changing fill/stroke colors.

Postby Valkyrie » Tue Mar 01, 2016 11:26 am

Hi
I created the wing top right recently but I now need to alter it. From this top right wing I removed all filters (drop-shadow), so that it looks like top left. I copied that one, ungrouped it and individually checked each separate piece but I still don't understand why when I change the fill to black and the stroke to white that there are bits missing. I need to make the feathers black with the stroke white.
Can anyone suggest what else I might check or if I may have done something unfixable would tracing it be a solution so that I can customise it?

I'm only guessing that maybe the z-order of some objects is disturbed.

The svg file would be helpful to see.

Another tip: work on a grey canvas or other color than white, to verify the strokes on the outer edges.
Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/

Thanks tylerdurden, I'll check out the Z order. I'm working on a grey background in the file I'm putting it into, I just came back to this one to try and fix the missing part. :)

yup, z-order fixes most.
