Newbie/dufus question:
I’ve read the help program and the tutorial and I cannot figure out how to add color to an area of an evacuation diagram (floor plan) I’ve created. I’m stuck.

Hi Robert
I would simply draw new faces over without contour and send them backwards.

Like so?

Thanks for the answer, Frank. Unfortunately, I find it baffling.
What I don’t understand is: What step or action did you take to make the solid grey color appear in each of those two office spaces on your (nifty) little drawing? Am I looking right past the applicable ‘tool’ or step, or am I failing to understand the conceptual underpinnings of the Intaglio method?
Thanks,

Hi Bob.
Do you know how to fill a path with color?
To make it complete: draw the face, set “stroke” to “none” and add a color to “fill”, send backwards. Need a video? I have a jing account. Let me know.

Frank,
Video’s are good! Intaglio needs more- especially in the quartz FX dept, as I too, have found these tools hard to get to grips with.
I think, if you don’t mind me saying, that Intaglio’s manual isn’t very straight forward. It amazes me that a piece of
software like Intaglio, which in my opinion is relatively easy to use and pick up, has such a poor manual.

Well, as Nick on Intaglio is a “One-Man-Show” I overlook the lack of docs. Writing quality manuals is another league and a god-of-codes doesn´t make one a master-of-manuals - unfortunately.
So there´s a forum and aside from betas I find it´s the best way to communicate issues/needs&properties. What I find a bit odd is the forum design as we can´t have internal attachement management like e.g. all the forums I used to participate are more “convenient” (OK - mostly WoltLab driven or Vanilla based). But we´re discussing kind of design apps here and it all doesn´t look that nothing much.
So let´s here if Bob´s in the need of a video. 
Cheers

I think many of us new intaglio users would love a video or a more detailed manual.

One way would be to make the doc open source and accessible on a
source version control system. While I, for one, am neither ready nor
capable to undertake writing a whole documentation, I owe enough to
Intaglio to be more than willing to fill-in some parts.

Absolutely! Anything to get me unstuck enough to crank out a provisional/funky Evac Plan diagram. Once I get this project our of the way I’ll take the time to actually study the program as the creators intended it to be learned.
I jumped on Intaglio when I finally had to abandon the AppleWorks drawing program (since it was acting buggier with each update of OSX). The last straw was when I put four hours into this project, hit ‘SAVE’ and, poof! AppleWorks crashed and left not a trace of my work.
Thanks,

Hey Bob.
Here´s a link to a short video.

Sorry no audio - just glad finished it after 4 crashes due my messy graphic board. ;(
To switch from a curvy path into an edgy one hold alt-key down while dragging the handle to the new direction bwfore placing the new point.
Hope this is a bit of help.
Cheers
