RECOLOUR

[ChasminderB]

Hello,

I have used the blob brush to draw the element attached, and am trying to select the edge to recolour using the paint bucket tool to the green colour. However the edge does get selected but it only colours part of the edge. What am i doing wrong please

AdobeUser121, which Adobe software title is your question in relation too?

Hello Jeff,

Its an Illutrator question please.

After drawing the element, I expanded twice, but the dividing lines appeared. 

Have tried to use pathfinder to unite/merge, but it does not work

The adobe illustrator version is 24.1.1

Thanks, I will move the discussion to the Illustrator forum.

Hello, ChasminderB.
Try to adjust the gaps.

Hello,

Thank you for reply

Turning off Gap detection works for some elements but not all.

Is there more advice you can give please?

Many thanks

Triple click with the live paint bucket to recolor all areas of the same color.

Hello Monika,

That does work

I have attached ajpeg of the element with the gaps/lines and coloured it, and the paint bucket tool does colour beyond those lines. I would like to colour it all in one go.

Is there any other to get rid of the break/gaps/lines?

Let me know if you want me to send you the ai. file version

Thank you

[Monika Gause]

And when you triple click in that area as well?

If that doesn't wor, please upload that file somewhere.
