We created these simple icons before it's time to move forward and create something more complex this
time.
Still using simple shapes as a square circle and lines, we will draw a whole city around these little
icons.
So let's start with the square.
It has a bit of around the corner, it's up to you to keep it or make it back to.
Totally coordinated.
This is what I will do now first I go to Path and object to path.
So now I can edit it.
I have four nodes.
I select the two nodes on the bottom and click on the icon to remove the connection between the.
Now I will draw a horizontal line holding control.
And they removed this little house on the side, I don't need it.
And put this one the building on the line.
OK, these guys also go over there until I finish my building, because this will be a huge apartment
building.
I'm throwing a few windows.
Just a simple square.
Let's make it a bit narrower.
And now with control, the IWK did.
I do this a few times.
Nice, nice, I select all of the windows.
And we shift control a you see, I opened a line and distribute window.
I can also do it from here, objects align and distribute shift control a.
I use this shortcut a lot because it's much easier than to do it by hand, so I just click this icon
and it's sorting the windows nicely for me.
I don't have to do that by hand.
Again.
I pulled him a bit more apart, put them in the middle.
Nice.
Now, I duplicator all of them in those again and again.
To have several rows, several levels from a little building.
Now I select all of them and with control G, I group them up.
Now, if I move it, it will move us one unit.
I duplicate the building.
And the line.
And click this icon to send them to the back totally behind the other building.
Now it's easy because the inside of the building is a white.
But I want to delete the part which is hidden, I want to create through Lynard, so I don't want to
use any fear.
You see, if I turn out the feel.
All the building is transparent and I can see what is behind it.
So I could go easy and just keep the feel, but I don't want to do that.
So I turn off the feel for everything, the windows and the buildings and everything.
And delete those parts, I don't want to be there, so I just holding shift.
And control in the same time to click, click, click and select these windows, and then I delete them.
No, I pulled back the whole group behind and you see there is this line running down.
I grabbed the note here, and by holding control, I lifted up.
Same goes here, this line is cutting through my building.
Do you remember what we did with the wheels on the car?
Exactly.
DoubleClick twice ad to node's.
And empty the line between them.
So now if I draw a circle, don't do this just for testing, so I draw a circle to show what is behind
you, see, there is no fewer color.
Not in the windows.
Not in the buildings.
Great.
This means I can later add any color I want in the background or do whatever I want with it.
OK, great.
I have one house and one house in the background, but I can do more.
That's select again, the line and the building.
And the obligated.
So I agree I can create some new buildings for myself.
I love to duplicate things, actually, because I don't have to redraw.
I can always reuse what I created before.
So now let's position this building.
I like it, but it's too uniform compared to the other one.
Let's make it a bit shorter, maybe.
I just saw, like, these two notes on the top, pull the building down and erased two floors of windows.
I just click, click, click.
And delete, now I have a few lines I have to erase again, you know the drill already, I move this
node up.
I said I'd create two nodes on the on this horizontal line, I select them and remove.
The connection from between the.
This when I make shorter and will do the same here.
Select.
Remove the connection, nice.
With this one, I created the simple illusion that the things are behind or in front of each other,
let's duplicate this building again and make it sitting on the same line.
I can put it here.
Let's see or delete these windows now, actually pull this aside, it's much easier to delete these
six windows.
I said six, OK?
And then.
Put it back.
OK, let's do it one more and make the building a bit more narrow.
Our blockhouses are done.
And in the next lecture, we finish the little city.
