Re: Overlay two radiant subjects
Hi.
Forget about the bucket fill tool for this.
Think of the paths as a trim line you use to cut out a shape from a sheet of coloured paper to make a montage.
On your file, you made a union of the two open paths, that were not aligned accurately.
You can use snapping for a better fit, and/or instead of unioning the two paths, combine them together (Ctrl+K), and merge the start-end nodes together for a closed path with the node tool.

After that, use the fill and stroke tab to set a fill (Shift+Ctrl+F).

Re: Overlay two radiant subjects
Thank you, but if i use the fill and stroke to fill it, only the border gets colored. And I'm in the Fill point, not the one for the border.
How can i change it?
If its meters, I'm using a mac.
Thank you!

Re: Overlay two radiant subjects
If the fill options sets the "borders" on your object, maybe then you had converted the stroke to path before (Ctrl+Alt+C)?
In that case if you break apart (Ctrl+Shift+K) the path, you should get to two paths with no "border".

Thank you for your help! I'm getting on!
When i draw an object with the , after that i have chose the color, press (ctrl + shift + C) and after that (ctrl + shift + K), then it is filled with the closed color. Is that normal?

Hi Paul,
with the tool you end up with a path. Keep an eye to the tool's settings, not to use a shape on in -like triangle/ellipse in/out, which either is done by a pattern along path live path effect, or by the powerstroke live path effect. If you have those applied you wouldn't get to the core of the shape that you draw. Maybe you didn't use that because you are drawing a closed paths and those lpe-s are good only on open paths.
What I'm trying to say, is that if you use the pen tool right, you shouldn't need to convert the object to path by Ctrl+Shift+C, nor need to combine that one (together with no other paths selected).
Still not sure what you mean by closed colour. The fill and stoke panel is the "normal" way you can set the fill and other style attributes.
