Filling in shapes with colour created with lines within a shape.

[rebeccal11099218]

Hi there,

I added these four lines into this hexagon making them two strips eithet side of the hexagon shape. I'd like to fill them in with a black colour but it only seems to fill the whole hexagon shape when I try and fill them?  I tried to select all, then group, ungroup but it just doesn't seem to fill the two strips? Could someone please help?

 Thank you!

Is there not a way to just select each strip either side and just fill the strip?

That is what you can do with Live Paint.
