I'm cool with writing up a short article. it's for an event in June so you'd probably have to wait a bit for the article + photos of it!

Possibly, although not at the moment as I'm busy with quite a number of deadlines. What does it involve?

Thanks, I imagine the final product would be really grand if practicality is not an issue!

Another option that I'm exploring are MDF boards. And I think the largest dimensions for these boards are 2440mm x 1220mm. The details probably won't be too intricate since the final product that I'm looking at is around 100m in length. Just got to wait and see what the company has to say about prac...

It worked!! Thanks a million, you're a star! both of you are amazing, thanks for your help!

Brilliant, it looks promising now, thanks!

I've now created 41 rectangles in another layer over the image but can't seem to perform the 'division' boolean?

are you able to view this??

Okay this might sound silly, but I simply selected the original image underneath the traced image and deleted it?

All they said was they needed a vector file, didn't specify which format.

Okay I've done up another one, hopefully it's of better quality and the raster image is gone. But seems like the file is too big to attach it - any other ways to post it here? I don't have to have the design in scale for now as I'm just sending it to a company to have the design laser cut onto ply b...

Ah, seems like I've done it wrongly then. I was asked to produce a vector file of just the skyline for cutting, so I isolated the skyline from the background by doing a bitmap trace. What should I be doing instead? It's for a large scale installation so the design has to be done in 41 separate board...

It's a silhouette of the London skyline. I've attached the current file that I have, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated (please let me know if I've done something wrong with the file as well - I have not done a vector design project before!)

Cheers

Hi all,

I'm new to vectors and Inkscape, and would really appreciate some help! I would like to divide my design into 41 equal segments, and each of the segments should be in vector form. How do I go about doing this??

Thanks much!
