  can anyone help me please on how to do corel infills?

  Afternoon everyone ……

  I’m producing a visual for a client. Part of the new sign uses a stainless
  steel tube. On the right hand side you can see that i’ve infilled the part
  to look like stainless steel, but on the left it shows the tube with a bend.

  

  Basically …. is there anyway I can use a graduated infill to show that the
  stainless steel is a cylinder but so that it bends round with the shape ??

  I hope that makes sense ……..

  perhaps, no easy way.

  I dont have corel to hand on laptop but here goes.

  1: Hopefully that is a shape, not an outline for a start, if not then Convert Outlines to Shapes menu item

  2: Use Node tool and break it apart so you are left with two curves. The left curve and the right curve. Colour one curve lighter then the other.
  3: Using the blend tool with 20-30 steps, blend the left curve to the right curve and it should blend over the bend.
  4: You should see a coloured pipe.
