Another simple one ? re bevals

[jen0dorf]

Ok

Am trying to get on peoples wavelengths.

If I have a rectangle that I'm using in a web design as a divider to fill a line ie repeat the image along the x axis I will have a requirment for a bevel on the top and bottom edges.

Similarly the curved graphic in my previous question will be the left and right ends of the line they will need a bevel on top/botom and on the curved edge.

Question is how to I create a bevel on specific edges I thought of creating a bevel on all edges and then putting another layer on top to "hide" the unwanted bevel.

Is there a better and easier way?

1. you could simply draw the bevels
2. you could do this: Make the bevel. Draw a rectangle to cover the unwanted section. Use Arrange, Combine, Subtract. OR even slice.

Thanks for the idea

How about a curved bevel? On the attached file I will need bevels on all but the left hand side

cheers

And another method:

Set the grid to 10 pixels, subdivision 1. Apply Snap to Grid

Create a rectangle 400 x 40 pixels.

Whichever is your prefered method, round the left hand corner.

Clone and flip horizontally.

Move this well to the right.

Select both shapes, Arrange / Combine Shapes / Add Shapes

Apply the bevel of choice, but ensure it's in a whole pixel size, not a fraction.

Now create a SQUARE over the left side. Set fill and outline to none. Create a bitmap copy. Repeat for right side. Repeat for centre.

You now have 3 bitmaps to apply to an html table. The middle bitmap can expand as required.
