    I am attaching svg file I just wanted to know how to hide the corners. The four corners they are coming out. I want them to be invisible. Shall be thankful if you explain the method.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Seems you made this from triangles instead using the polygon tool for one hexagon and 3 (at 90°,120°-120°) lines with round caps; see Fill and Stroke tab.

    Not quite right; you introduced a fill color to all elements. Check out the file please:

    Unfortunately not now: 1 diagonal line is a closed shape and the hexagon is made from 12 instead of 6 nodes. Please check my file from reply #4 again.

    Is it possible I can download your svg file and open and check it in the Inkscape? Thank you

    Sure thing. Depending on your OS you can simply click&drag it onto your desktop or right-click „save file to“ etc.

    Pretty close. Use Inkscape‘s snapping function to snap node-to-node in the corners; all green lines are still a bit off.

    One question though, The three lines (center green color) should I draw one and then copy and rotate or should I draw three. Thank you for your help. I will do and report back.

    Depends on how precise the hexagon is aligned. If so you could draw one slanted line - aligne end nodes to corresponding corner nodes then duplicate and hit „H“ to mirror horizontally. I‘d prefer the draw one line after another method with snapping enabled.

    Hi,

    This time Aligned end nodes to corresponding corner then draw one line after another with snap ping enabled. Is it ok this time or any mistake.

    Green line still a bit off. Do you use snapping?

    Snapping? in my previous reply the screen shot showing what is enabled. But would you let me know

    how could I use snapping. Thank you

    Ah - I see it‘s already enabled. Wonder why it‘s off then. Should snap and show the indicator which snapping option is used as a „highlit label“.
