I make a square (100x100px) converted to a path and put in a coordinates easily to remember. Then I place in the center of the square the ornament, and place a copy in each corner(50px left, up, down, right) . Then combine the five ornaments in a path combined with Ctrl+K.
I lift the square at top. I make the operation "intersection" between the ornaments combined and the square (path) and the result it's selected with a dimensions wrong, bigger than the square. If you export the intersection (path) in the window "Export to an image", the result it's bad selected by default and you must correct the selection area. It's that because I've put the square in a coordinates easily to remember. In my case I've put the square in the coordinates x=100px and y=500px. The result it's selected a square (with the intersection) bigger than the original and you must correct the coordinates of the selection in the window of export, and as I set a definite coordinate I can introduce correctly the dimension of the result.
But if you want to use it for made a mosaic the intersection it's bad result, there is a stripe around the intersection result's.
I'm trying to enclose the svg file but a message say it's too large. I attache two files:
- intersection 2.png (183.28 KiB) Viewed 5582 times
- intersection.png (176.35 KiB) Viewed 5582 times
I've made a video with an other example here: https://youtu.be/RZs1Mb9UEjY?t=4m49s. In this case I've exported to an image. In other video I made the same but I use the pattern create directly to use in a mosaic directly o set as a pattern. You can do it with a whatever ornament and the result it's wrong selected.
If I don't set the coordinates of the square and remember the coordinates it's difficult to export the area correctly.
Regards.
