If you are not in object select mode but in the rectangle's toolbar, you can use the handles to change the length in a fixed direction, however you would need a parallel guideline to snap one of the corners -or the exact width cannot be kept. Thanks for helping out. I got it now. ;) Cheers and a ha...

Yeah, so increasing it there would only increase length?

You can use a 2 node open path with no fill but outline, and butt caps, to draw such a rectangle.
Then you can edit it with the node editor tool to be diagonal, or,
with the select tool if the scale stroke width with the path option is disabled.

Thanks!

Hi,

I was wondering how to resize a rectangle diagonally.
Without making it bigger, but just longer..
and not scaling the whole thing, but just increasing the length.

I generally agree that additional features may strengthen the message. If related to housing, Chimney is used often with good results Ground-plane or lawn Sun, tree, flower Oblique angle to show depth Lots of inspiration/examples with google image-search: "housing logo"... Thanks for the ...

there's no trick, rendered your logo with blender (http://www.blender.org) for a reference picture. you can import your svg-file into blender, convert the object to a mesh and extrude the 3d-block but you need some basic knowledge about blender (see blender wiki @ blender.org). as far as i see, ink...

A-ha! Now it makes all more sense. Another reason to tie to 2D. I can't recall any huge changes that could make it more distinct. It's try and error. If they don't like it, maybe the basic conception doesn't work for them. Thanks for your reply. I have an idea about making the corners of the house ...

https://dl.dropbox.com/s/l28fpo5ut8a5yzb/hlp94II.svg The original green shade looked too much of a road sign's. You are right, the company though wants to imply the green ways of there work. Any other things I could add to the logo to make it look more distinct? I really apriciate all the time ever...

adding 3d/depth is easy in inkscape. as you see in following example, just by copying and pasting the logo and scaling the result. just a 3d edge at the corners is missing which can be added manually. the logo looks interesting, but the hands are not matching perfectly - seems you created them by d...

Hi. Try to persuade the client that 3D is a no-go. Why? You have the light shape forming two hands and the Sun, on another shape forming a house. More importantly there is a torso formed between the two hands, with the sun as his head, or, more so an angel with white wings. With any 3D sence added,...

Hi, Yesterday I was working on a logo. Now I was asked to make it look like is has some sort of depth. Preferred was like a blue print of kind of dept, you know with the dotted lines. How could I pull this off with Inkscape? Also I created a 3D model, but to my taste that does not look appropriate f...

Hi All,

Thanks everyone for the replies, I know now that Inkscape right now (13/11/2013) isn't the best choice for emboss effects.
Perhaps in the near future!

Kindest regards,

exemple with a filter Looks very close, what filter did you use? Also is there a filter I can tweak and see at the same time what the effect does. All the filters seem to apply without being able to choose any settings of the effect. If posible, I like the white area's to be beveled and transparent...

Xara is what I am using two, but it has other problems.
Thanks for the tip.

Hey,

Thanks for reply.
Yeah I tried all these filters..
But nothing seems to really look like this.

Any other ideas?

Hey,

I was working on a logo and since it needed to be vector format, I pulled out my favorite vector editor.
Now I seem to have problems with getting that emboss on the edges.
Would what I have attached be possible in Inkscape?


Regards,
Virt

Awesome!
Thanks for explaining.
+1 to you both.

Cheers,

I know Inkscape for years, but you can do so many things with it. Im no expert, good to know there are always people who know more. The next step was to make the white transparent, and export that to *.PNG format. I could ofcourse do that in photoshope very quick, but how would you do that in Inksca...

Hey everyone,

The idea was to create a sun with flames on the outside that has a recuring patern (the flames)
I found something that I would like to recreate in vector format.
The image is in the attachement.

Could anyone be so kind to explain me how this was done.
Much thanks!
