Bending or transforming components

Design
1

Hello,

I was wondering if there is any way to transform components in a more complex way than just scaling them proportionally. Is there a way to bend them or - like in illustrator - a tool to set fixed anchors from which you can then transform the components shape?
My goal is to have one single component in the back of a logo which consists out of multiples of that component but some of them are shaped differently because they are bent in the logo window.

Thank you very much!

Best greetings,
Robert

Can you post a sketch of what you mean?

One more question:
I know its kind of a bit much to ask for but what would be the easiest or most efficient way to give each of the 17 pieces of the logo a different color? Would I need 17 Instances with color parameters?

Best greetings,
Robert

  1. Look into Smart Components: Height and Width work best as transformation properties, but you can use anything as long as it is interpolatable.
  2. For coloring, look into CPAL/COLR Colorfonts: basically, keep the different parts on different color layers.
