Triangles with outline

[csehz]

Ah thanks I understand But if the situation is more problematic for example in the attached one?

So if the between lines are not straight and with nudge their dimensions can not be reproduced.

A couple of thoughts. If using sledger's method you could shrink the individual shapes slightly with contour tool (inset path). Alternatively, leave the lines on the shapes and clip the overall shape. To produce the clipping mask, select all shapes and add (Ctrl1). Use contour tool on this if necessary. A lot depends on why you are doing this.

Too easy.
Make two copies, convert lines to shapes on one copy
Remove lines then weld shapes (Add shapes : Ctrl+1)
Copy new solid triangle and recolour to green
Use converted lines to subtract from solid blue triangle
Set green triangle behind the blue and adjust to snap to edges.
Done

Can't you just draw the lines over one big blue triangle then clip [Q] ? Or a 'V' over the original shape in post #1?

Or am I missing something?
