AE CS6 on an HP 820z, Wn 7
I have imported vector graphics from adobe illustrator of a star:
When I import it into AE it looks like this:
Problem 1:
Fill layer does not appear for one component only.
I am working in ray traced 3d. You can see that the arm at 9 o'clock is missing the fill. When I check the "contents" of the offending quadrent at the layer level, it indicates that it is colored, even though none appears. I tried changing the level of the shape in the hierarchy relative to the other layers, the "from above" or "from below" composite parameter, and only succeeded when I copied another of the "arms" and moved it to that position. Curiously the moved one didn't align perfectly.
Making that one align well, has proven to be a challenge.
Also the outer star was drawn as a single shape and the smaller shapes added later. After I drew the star and inner parts, I used the swirl effect to get the resulting image.
Problem 2:
Outline of star has stroke but no fill option in the contents area.
Is there a way I can add a fill component to it.
