Why is the Bevel Tool So Special???

[Nostaw]

Thanks angelize! Having used brushes quite extensively, I'm pretty much aware it works on single color strokes. But it doesn't work on multicolored brushes. See the document attached and try to change one of the used colors, it doesn't change any color in the brush.

No, they don't. You can do anything you like to a shape and its shadow will always update. It is only bevels that get broken

You're right - I made an assumption based on zero evidence. I tried it this evening and try as I might I couldn't break the shadow without also breaking the vector shape it was attached to. Thanks for pointing out my mistake.
