Fireworks CS5 :: filling a hand-made polygon

Hi there,

I must use Adobe Fireworks CS5.

Let´s say I create three line segments to form a triangle (not equilateral, not specific, general). I would like to "connect" the three vertices for the fireworks to understand that this is a limited region, and after that I want to color that region.

Please help step-by-step to do the bold part. Please do not teach me how to do another thing. I want to learn how to proceed as mentioned in the above paragraph.

Thanks,
fskilnik.

Hi,

I posted an answer in the original question

Hi there!

I had the same problem in the past, and it was marvellously solved in the fireworks 8 framework...

The question was presented here:

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/26685689/easy-fireworks-8-drawing.html

and the "perfect answer" (as far as my taste/necessity is concerned) was that:

---------------
>>Using the line tool I draw 3 line segments that I would like to consider a triangle. I want to shade the internal area of this "triangle".<<

Select all three lines.. go..

Modify/Convert to bitmap
select the Paint Bucket from the tools
click on the internal area of your triangle

Z
-------------

In other words, where do I find in Fireworks CS5 the same possibilities or, if not possible, could I work in Fireworks CS5 with some sort of "same procedure"? How?

Thanks!

If you create an irregular shape with the Polygon Lasso Tool and double-cllick, the shape will be automatically closed.

Excellent, Paul. Your suggestion and the aid of edit > cut chosen bitmap will do the trick beautifully!

Thanks also for the document on Scribd. It will also be very useful.

See you in other EE posts!
