Introduction

This is what we'll create in this episode, a colorful beach ball and a cut-out leaf logo, using Pathfinder tools: Divide, Trim, Merge, Crop, and Outline. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. The bottom row of the Pathfinder panel contains the Pathfinder tools. Unlike shape mode, which creates one shape, Pathfinder tools break objects into multiple parts within a single group. Draw a large circle, then two narrow ellipses crossing over it. Select all and click Divide. All overlapping areas are split into separate pieces within one group.

Step 2: Coloring the Pieces

Release the group with Shift + Ctrl + G, then click each piece and apply different colors: red, yellow, blue, and white. The parts of the ellipses outside the circle are removed. Now we have a colorful beach ball. Trim removes the parts covered by the object in front, without merging colors.

Step 3: Trim and Merge

Merge does the same, but pieces with the same color are combined into one. Let's try it on three stacked rectangles.

Step 4: Crop

Draw several thick green diagonal lines, then a circle on top of them. Select all and click Crop. The top object becomes the cropping frame, and the lines outside the circle are cut off. Outline converts every edge of a shape into separate lines.

Step 5: Outline

Try it on two stacked circles, resulting in separate line segments that can be colored individually.

Step 6: Finalizing

Add a gray ellipse shadow below the beach ball. Save and export your practice result.

Done!

Done. We've used Divide to split and color, Trim and Merge to remove hidden parts, Crop to cut, and Outline to extract edges. In the next episode, we'll create holes using compound paths.
