Select the red strokes and go Path->Stroke to Path then Path->Union. That´s it, You can union or combine with the glasses but the glasses shape but keep in mind you can just have one "style" per object - and it will carry the style from the top most object.
Select all and group - select Select tool - close the lock in the tool bar to resize proportional and type in your desired pix size. If it needs to be rendered as a bitmap icon you will need to invest more work to avoid as much anti aliasing as possible - but 16x16px is tiny. Speaking as an Icon forger.
After the image gets scaled to 16px I opened Document properties hit "Resize to content:" then set page size to 16x16px. Then I just aligned it via Align and Distribute properly.
It was al in the GIF: Select everything and "group". in the toolbar enable the lock for proportional scaling. Then type in at W: 16px, that will shrink the group. To pace is inside the 16x16px page find the Align and Distribute panel: "Relative to: Page", then hit "Center on vertical axis" and "Center on horizontal axis".
(Hopefully you can use it as SVG in your project. A 16x16px won´t be readable by that approach.)

So should I start from the beginning?
If not - how do I fix it?

Beginners' Questions How to make 1 shape out of 3?
Inkscape.org
Hi, ALL,
I downloaded an SVG from the Web added a cross in the top-left corner and now I'm trying to follow https://sendcutsend.com/blog/merging-and-welding-shapes-in-inkscape/#h-merging-shapes,
in order to have 1 shape instead of 3.
So I clicked on the "Edit Path By Node" tool, then I shift+clicked all 3 shapes and then chose "Path ->Ubion".
After doing tht I see only the original image - my added cross disappear.
What I did wrong?
Image is attached.
Thank you.
P.S.: If someone knows how to make that image smaller *16x16
Hi,
What I just did is:
I Shift-Selected both red lines and the went to "Path - Combine". Now it looks like I have a cross instead of 2 independent red lines.
Unfortunately doing the same trick with glasses and cross I have a whole picture painted "red".
And trying to do "Union" still makes the cross disappear.
And I'd like to have the image smaller.
Thank you.
Select the red strokes and go Path->Stroke to Path then Path->Union. That´s it, You can union or combine with the glasses but the glasses shape but keep in mind you can just have one "style" per object - and it will carry the style from the top most object.
Thx Polygon.
Do you know how I can make th image smaller?
Or maybe better to ask - place the image inside the document whose size is 16x16.
Right now as you can see the image is huge...
Thank you.
Select all and group - select Select tool - close the lock in the tool bar to resize proportional and type in your desired pix size.

Polygon,
Can you make a short video explaining how to do it?
Its kind of hard to follow here what you are saying..
Thank you.
Here you go. Please download the gif as I will take it down for forum´s space reason.
Polygon,
Thank you.
I will grab it when I get home from work...
Polygon,
After you click on the lock and enter "16" in the text control, you click on the button on the top toolbar.
I unfortunately don't see a toolip - what this button called?
(I'm sorry - I don't have the same layout as you).
Thank you.
After the image gets scaled to 16px I opened Document properties hit "Resize to content:" then set page size to 16x16px. Then I just aligned it via Align and Distribute properly.
Polygon.
I don't have the "Resize to content" property.
In fact I don't even have "Display" page there...
Thank you.
P.S.: I have version 1.0.2 here.
The button is labelled "Resize page to drawing or selection", (ctrl+shift+R) in your screenshot.
@Polygon,
You can mark this thread solved and take the video down.
Thank you,
@Polygon.
I'm sorry to bother you again.
PLease check the screenshot attached.
I presu,e that the small rectangle in the top left corner is the actual document.
An since the drawing is outside the document - nothing is saved.
How do I place the drawing inside the document?
Thank you.
It was al in the GIF: Select everything and "group". in the toolbar enable the lock for proportional scaling. Then type in at W: 16px, that will shrink the group. To pace is inside the 16x16px page find the Align and Distribute panel: "Relative to: Page", then hit "Center on vertical axis" and "Center on horizontal axis".
(Hopefully you can use it as SVG in your project. A 16x16px won´t be readable by that approach.)
@Polygon,
I sure can.
All other SVGs I made are 16x16 px and they are nicely displayed in my toolbars.
However in InkScape they are displayed as big documents.
Please check the attachments...
That´s the advantage and reason for Scaleable Vector Graphics. Go Edit->Make a bitmap copy to see what it will look when rasterized at that scale. ;-)

We are going around in circles. How many times do I have to repeat myself?
