at 6:27 when i pull the rectangle out from under the cloud there is no outline on it. i just want my cloud to have color instead of just being an outline. how can i do that?

[@Byteweiser1]

∆KaiØGamer∆ Did you perform an Object To Path on both the rectangle and the cloud? Make sure you do that before running Difference on them.To have the cloud filled in by the rectangle, perform the Difference on the cloud and rectangle. Then select the rectangle and perform Break Apart on it. Delete the piece of the rectangle outside of the cloud. Hope that helps! :)

***** ok so i think it had something to do with my lines not being closed and using group instead of union. If you can tell me why that is thatd be great. So i got it to work but i made multiple clouds using the same pencil tool and same settings yet sometimes my lines are thicker and sometimes theyre thinner than usual. I want the thicker look but dont know how to manipulate the thickness. Any ideas?

[@Byteweiser1]

∆KaiØGamer∆ I think your problem is that you are using a group. Unions can only be performed on single objects only, not groups (as far as I'm aware).

[@Byteweiser1]

∆KaiØGamer∆ What you could do would be to undo your group and perform a union on the pertinent objects. Just make a copy of your group for safe keeping just in case.
