Hi guys. Now I am sure there must be a way of hiding what is behind other lines and so forth.
In example I have this design that I want to place over another background.
But where it is white the background shows through.
Have attached screen shots.

You managed to colorise the orange parts/shapes - why not the hull?

I want the hull to be white, but its transperant on top of the rest of the design.

In Document Properties (Ctrl+Shift+D) you can chose Chequerboard Background, that way you can see what is colered and what is not.

"Checkerboard" sucks to work with - you can have any color as a background while you´re drawing.

Well, well, PixelPest, that is apparently your opinion, I on the other hand find it very useful. 😉

Sure - it´s just my 2¢ - I can´t draw/design/paint on a "checkerboard" background - no way.
And I didn´t say it´s not useful - sure it is.
