Hi all,

I would like to fit two objects such that the lower one adapts its upper rim to the upper object. I have attached a screenshot of a house. The wall should fit to the roof (see red triangle that I inserted). I'd appreciate every comment and will be thankful for your help.

• Convert the vertical rectangle to a path by going to Path -> Object to Path. This will create nodes at the corners of the rectangle.
• Turn on the Snap to Paths option. You can hover over the icon to see their names.
• Select the Edit Paths by Nodes tool, hold Ctrl and drag the top nodes of the vertical rectangle until they snap to the stroke of the rectangle above. Holding Ctrl locks movement in horizontal or vertical axis depending on your drag direction.
• Disable the Snap to Paths if not required anymore.

Below is how it will look like. Dotted line is the bounding box. Grey diamonds are the nodes

Hi.

Enlarge C at the top till it gets covered by B which is on the top layer

Duplicate B and shift select with C 

Go Path->Difference - done:

Thanks for your answers,

@tukykarmakar: I can't find the Snap to Paths option. I am using the German version and I do not know which option to choose (see screenshot).

@PixelPest : Basically I could achieve my aim with your approach. However, for me the difficulty is when I copy B I have to move it to the exact same position as the previous B. This is not so easy and the end results might not look that good. Do you have an advice for this step?

Warum bist Du dann nicht im deutschen Unterforum?

Also die Beschreibung stimmt schon: Dupliziere "B" - nicht kopieren&einfügen - dann befindet sich das Double an gleicher Stelle und da muss nix hin+her geschoben werden.

@Vanessa_Fi, the snapping settings are to the right end of your screenshot. I circled the Snap to Paths icon in red.

Try to browse through the different themes and icon themes that Inkscape has, you might find a theme that is more intuitive or comfortable for you. But beware of some sizing issues of the icon tiles, it is bug for small screens and small window sizes.

Thanks for your answers. It helped :-)
