Limits to Live Paint groups
Fill and paint attributes are attached to faces and edges of a Live Paint group—not to the actual paths that define
them, as in other Illustrator objects. Because of this, some features and commands either work differently or are not
applicable to paths inside a Live Paint group.
Features that don’t work on Live Paint groups:
• Transparenc y
• Brushes
• Effects
• Gradient meshes
• Graphs
• Symbols from the Symbols palette
• Flares
• Align Stroke options from the Stroke palette
• Multiple fills and strokes from the Appearance palette
• The Magic Wand tool
Object commands that don’t work on Live Paint groups:

• Create Gradient Mesh
