  • help required for cutomers frosted visual

    Posted by Stephen Henderson on 3 May 2011 at 10:15

    Hello Folks
    I use Flexi, and I am trying to do a visual for a client who would like some frosted vinyls applied to her windows. Showing the window with frosted is the easy part, but how do I show her what it would look like with the logo’s cut out in the frosting, so that the background image shows through.At the moment I am doing the logo’s with white, but it does not have the effect that I need to show her. Can anyone tell me how to cut the logo’s on the image

    Thanks

    Stephen…quick reply which may not be of any use at all as I don’t use flexi but the way it would be done in Corel would be to ‘combine’ or ‘trim’ the objects together

    As i say i don’t know what options you have in Flexi but it might give you an idea as to what to look out for

    not sure i have understood you correctly, do you want to cut parts of the frosted out?

    Make sure the part you want to cut out is on top of the frosted.

    Select them both by selecting one of them, holding shift and selecting the other.

    then go to ‘effect’ in the very top toolbar go down to ‘combine’ and select ‘cut out’

    that should cut the logo out of the frosted and show whatever is behind it.

    Hope this helps,

    Liam

    easier still in flexi
    – use compound on the "arrange" drop down menu also the shortcuts ctrl + m (to make) and control + J to undo

    This.

    Just make sure the panel & logos are the same colour before you compound them.
