cutting a object

[Jake5FDE]

hi, I am making a design that include letters, one of the letters is B and has the inside 2 things, I filled the outside of the letter B and want to remove the inside so its transparent.

Could you please enlarge this bunch of pixels and embed them in your post? Thank you.

Maybe selecting the objects and then making a compound path could help.

is this any better, ,i am trying to remove the green cutouts so it makes it transparent

Is this already a clipping mask? In that case you would need to release it first, then make a compound path from everything and then create the clipping mask again.

In case it's not a clipping mask, just go ahead and create a compound path.

how do i remove the clipping mask

[Jake5FDE]

when I select the inside shape (green outline and the gold B it makes the green outline solid gold color and removes the outside, I need the oposite to happen.

wait I figured it out by removing the mask, then compouding them, thanks for the help.

I've always found the Pathfinder panel the easiest to use.
