Netcommercial Sep 18, 2013 3:09 PM (in response to Rick Gerard)HI Rick,
I tried that. However I did not get a result...Maybe My steps are wrong
ADD> (from T.L) Stroke> used pen tool to draw stroke. No line, yet a second stroke parameter was created in the T.L?
I tried a work around of adding a Solid layer to the front of it to "paint" my Line. Worked fine, but I am now wresting with a 3d issue in the Main Comp.

4. Re: possible to paint on a shape Layer?
Netcommercial Sep 18, 2013 4:20 PM (in response to Netcommercial)I could only achieve "Joy" via adding a second Shape... Then adjusting the Stroke. Could not figure just adding a Stroke to that Layer...?
As for the 3d of the wheel Ok in PreComp and Not in the Main? Maybe I clicked the stacking order by mistake. I Just reverted back and "carefully" went back through it.

Rick Gerard Sep 19, 2013 5:48 AM (in response to Netcommercial)Carefully read my first post. You do not need more than one shape layer. With your bucket shape layer selected, choose the pen tool and then draw your second path on that layer. Set the stroke to the second path to white and turn off the fill. EZ as pie. You can have thousands of different paths on a single shape layer.

Netcommercial Sep 19, 2013 11:40 AM (in response to Rick Gerard)Thanks Rick,
It was my steps I was taking. I obviously achieved "Joy" as exampled above. I was getting confused on the fact that many shapes can go within a shape Layer. I have not played with this feature too much yet. I won't forget this little fact. Select Layer> use Pen tool> make stroke> Twirl dn T.L to adjust it's stroke width. Remove Fill if not needed, if desired.
