![]() That’s because the software doesn’t know which shape it is that you want to edit the points on. If you try to get into point editing mode on a group of shapes, nothing happens (see this post for more on that). If you click on a shape in point editing mode and see red dots, it’s not closed. Now, in order to get into point editing mode, you have to be on only one shape. You need both dimensions, because an area is 2 dimensional. Having only one of those measurements won’t tell you how many pieces you need because you don’t know the whole area. In order to know how much tile to buy you need to know BOTH the width and length of the room, as well as the length and width of a tile you’re looking at. Pretend you’re tiling a bathroom (yep - real life example here). Think of it like a pail with a hole in it - it won’t hold water. Or think of it like this. In this one, the starting and ending points DO meet up and connect. ![]() There’s a starting point and an ending point with several changes of direction along the way. A 2 dimensional shape has both length and width. You have a starting point and an ending point, but they don’t meet. An open path is like a straight line - it’s only 1 dimension. There’s just one real reason why a shape won’t fill with color in Silhouette Studio - it’s an open path instead of a closed shape.

Today, I’ll show you why sometimes you just can’t get a shape to fill with color. ![]() Have you ever encountered a real head-scratcher in Silhouette Studio? That’s what this series is about - explaining those and showing you how to fix them.
