I've created a hexagon using the shape tool, and would like to change the stroke style of a single side. I'm grouping hexagons together, and would like the outer edges to be a thin line with the inner lines having a thicker stroke style. Also, I'm trying to figure out how to delete single sides of a hexagon once they have been created so I don't have overlap. Anything I try to do applies to the entire hexagon. I appreciate any help that is offered.

Hi.

To delete one (or more sides of a hexagon (or any shape));

1. Select hexagon object.
2. Go to node editing mode F2.
3. Select a node.
4. Perform - Break Path at selected node.
5. Repeat 3 & 4 for adjacent node.
6. Perform Path - break apart SHIFT CTRL K
7. Enter object mode F1
8. Select the segment you want to remove and delete Del

To get the different sides of a line to be different thicknesses set the stroke width to where you want the inner and outer line to be and perform a stroke to path - then break apart and select one of the new paths and change strokewidth.

No need to remove segments of a hexagon to hide overlapping parts, just set the fill to white (if you use a white background) and change the Z-order (PAGE-UPor PAGE-DOWN)

Good Luck

The hexagon object may need to first be converted to a path (Shift+Ctrl+C).

It may also be helpful to use the Axonometric grid (document properties, grids tab).

Thank you both so much for the reply. Ragstian, you have saved my sanity! Tylerdurden, thanks for the tip. That will help me with lining them up.
