Hi,

A curious noob here and im having some trouble that hopefully someone can help with.

I hava big box which is holding some other little boxes and i would like the parts of the little boxes that are overflowing out of the big box to be clipped/masked/not showing.

I know that i can do it if its a picture via the image control and i know that if its certain types of shapes i can go to edit>shapes>then one of those options but its not allowing me to do either one of those options.

"You can do it with SubtractShapes but you need a different approach and a bit of experience with OG.

>> Is this achieved by grouping the shapes and then re-ordering them so that one shape clips/masks another?"
I have attached a screenshot of the area im trying to clip as well as the outline so that you can see how its stacked.

If someone could help me figure this out i would really appreciate it.
