Hello! I need help with this pattern.

I would like to get the result in this screenshot (there I just paint the s white). I tried with clip > set and clip > reverse but both of them don't work.

I'd ungroup all the circles and path-combine them. Then use path-difference to cut the S from the circles.

Ok, it worked, thank you so much!

I would take these steps:

• Combine all circles.
• Move the combined circles down in the z-order.
• Select the circles and the S, Path>difference.

I just selected them with the knots editor, Idk why but it works, I made it. Thank you.
