User Guide

•

Drag across multiple faces to paint more than one face at a time.

•

Double-click a face to fill across unstroked edges into adjacent faces (flood fill).

•

Triple-click a face to fill all faces of the same fill.

•

Hold down Shift to switch to the opposite Live Paint Bucket tool options. If you currently have both the Paint Fills
option and the Paint Strokes option selected, this switches to Paint Fills only. (This can be helpful when you are
trying to fill a small face surrounded by stroked edges.)

•

Shift-click an edge to stroke it. (When the pointer is over an edge, it changes to a paint brush

and the edge is

highlighted.)

Note:

By default, the Live Paint Bucket tool paints faces only, which is why you have to Shift-click an edge to stroke it. To

apply stokes without pressing the Shift key, change your Live Paint Bucket tool options.

•

Drag across multiple edges to stroke more than one edge at a time.

•

Double-click an edge to stroke all connected edges of the same color (flood stroke).

•

Triple-click an edge to stroke all edges of the same stroke.

To switch to the Eyedropper tool and sample fills and strokes, Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) the fill
and stroke you want.

Live Paint Bucket options

The Live Pain Bucket options let you specify how the Live Paint Bucket tool works, choosing whether to select and
paint just fills, just strokes, or both, as well as how to highlight faces and edges as you move the tool over them. You
can see these options by double-clicking the Live Paint Bucket tool.

Note:

The Paint Bucket tool no longer exists. The new Live Paint Bucket tool is used exclusively for Live Paint groups.

Paint Fills

Paints the faces of Live Paint groups.

Paint Strokes

Paints the edges of Live Paint groups.

Highlight

Outlines the face or edge the cursor is currently over. Faces are highlighted with a thick line and edges are

highlighted with a thin line.

Color

Sets the color for the highlight. You can choose a color from the menu or click the paint swatch to specify a

custom color.

Width

Specifies how thick to make the selection highlight.
