: How to draw a curved triangle with curved inner corners? I’m pretty new in graphic design (and Inkscape) and can’t figure out how to draw a unfilled rounded corners isosceles triangle. What

@Goswami567

There are probably a couple of ways to do this. Here's how I would do it.


Draw a triangle with the Create Stars and Polygons tool. Apply a thick stroke (about twice the thickness you need), and apply the rounded corners option in the stroke dialog.
Click Path > Stroke to Path
With the Edit Paths by Nodes tool, select the nodes of the inner path, removing them all, so you are left with one filled outer path.
Remove the fill, and set a stroke thinner than before (thin enough to see the inside corners rounded)

Draw a triangle. Give to it the wanted wide stroke. You can draw for example a 3 sided polygon holding Ctrl at the same time.

Goto Path > Dynamic offset

Drag the visible node upwards (=to bigger size) until you have also round inner corners. That's said already in a comment, but in a short way.

You can resize the resulted triangle, if it's too big. Resizing without changing the stroke width needs a change in the preferences:

goto Edit > Preferences > Transform, unselect the scaling of strokes.

NOTE: You can't make it arbitarily small because your inner corners will again get sharp as soon as the rounding radius of the outer corners get smaller than the stroke width.
