Can't get Poly to show fill style after using combine paths and path to poly
Hey all,
I am sure I am doing something wrong here, but cant figure it out. I made a poly out of 2 paths but can't get the fill style to show.
Here is what I did:
1) New 200x200 DD3Pro dungeon with no background
2) Make sure Line width is 0.000 and Fill style is Dirt and Grass Light Bitmap
3) Draw a square using the Polygon tool - the poly is filled in with the fill style as expected
4) Draw 2 parallel lines using the path tool twice
5) combine the paths to make a 3rd side of the square i am trying to make
6) combine the same paths again to make a square
7) use path to poly - no fill style shows up
8) Redraw - style fill style does not show up
9) Use List from info menu on both polys (the one with the fill style and the one without) - they look the same to me other then the node list!
See attached image with screen clippings of each step.
Any help greatly appreciated!

Its a square, so why has it got 8 nodes?
I think the combine paths operation has created some kind of weird poly that has zero area and forms the perimeter of a square - like a thread laid out in the shape of a square, but not forming the area of it.
(8 nodes, but no filled square)
That could be. When I select the area to do a 'change properties, it says '1 object selected', but if I change the line width to 2.0 I get this:
Maybe we will never know.
Glad its working for you now, though
