: Region coloring with customized path selection by live paint bucket tool in adobe illustrator cc I'm gonna choose a set of lines (solid and dashed) in my artwork, then coloring the surrounded
I'm gonna choose a set of lines (solid and dashed) in my artwork, then coloring the surrounded region by live paint bucket tool. Here is my artwork:
All I need is coloring the sphere's section surrounded by two dashed lines, two red lines, and the sphere's boundary, i.e. somewhere like figure below (red region, for example):
But I have two problems:
1- As I watched some videos on youtube, when one selects live paint bucket tool, all of the possible regions in the artwork must be detected, automatically; but in my case only a subset of regions are detected by the tool, as following:
So, the target regions are not detected by the tool.
2- As I select the desired lines to build a path consisting those lines, live paint bucket tool does still not detect the region middle of the path. Maybe this is not the right way to introduce a new region to the tool.
Could you please give me some advice in this case?

Ungroup, unlock and expand everything. Make sure they're on the same layer. Select red fill, no stroke. Select everything with the black arrow, open live paint bucket and you should be able to fill the desired regions. When done with red, select blue fill, select the artwork then open live paint bucket again to fill the blue regions.
Begin by selecting the entire shape (including all paths) with the black arrow tool and then start painting with the live paint bucket. I replicated your shape and had no issues filling the portions of the shape as per your diagram.
