when a filled closed path has an overlap

I must have been looking in the wrong places in documentation but is there a way to prevent the white space that occurs when you overlap an area with part of your closed curve?

Break the shape apart (Arrange > Break Shapes), delete the portion that has been knocked out (you might go to Outline view mode --Window > Quality > Outline) to locate the unwanted shape.

Then select the elements and Join Shapes (Arrange).

This is one shape though, so there is no option to break shapes.

if that helps...

Select the shape, click the shape editor tool, select a node and 'Break at point' then break another so that the overlapping part is separate. Now join the two (unfilled) parts with a different, closed and filled shape then Break Shapes.

I managed to do this by breaking just one point but I can't repeat it.

use the Shape Editor Tool to select and delete only the control points of the undesired shape.
