: Breaking polygons into paths in Inkscape Is there anyway to break up a polygon into paths? Actually what I want to do is to change the colour and dash of certain sides of the polygon, but

@BetL875

Indeed, it does require a few steps:


Select the polygon
Execute the menu command Paths->Object to path
Select the Node tool (F2)
Select the polygon's nodes at the vertices with Shift + click
Click on the "Break path at selected nodes" button
execute the menu command Path->break Apart (ctrl + shift + k)


There you are, just unselect the objects, and you can now select the
lines individually. You probably will want to make use of Objects->group to stick
the lines together in the polygon after you are done.
