  • Boris Red 5.6: how to change order or insert strokes in a Paint path ?

    Posted by Ben Carlson on April 27, 2017 at 2:06 pm

    I have a Paint path with a dozen strokes (spray, color,…) and I realize that they need to appear sequentially in a different order than the current one.
    How can I rearrange them ? Is it possible at all without recreating the full Paint Path and all its strokes ?

    Hello Ben.

    You can carry this out in RED 5, but this would not be done via an automated process like the Sequential/Parallel Paint function allows. Instead, the best way to do this would be to create numerous ‘Paint’ layers (not ‘Paint Path’ or ‘color stroke’ layers, but the master Paint layers themselves), and then create individual strokes within each one to fill in intermittent elements of the grand design. This way, when you tell each one to paint Sequentially (or Parallel), everything will paint but will not appear to do so in a linear fashion.

    Thanks.

    Jon
