Hi guys, I’ve posted on here before and I really have a hard time with the nodes part. This is an Adobe Illustrated logo. We have been struggling with making parts that need to be filled in, well… filled in. It’s mostly the water part that I need at the bottom to be filled in and not look bad. I have an AI file and a PNG. I’m not sure what to do. I don’t make the AI files and I have already had to go through and delete layers upon layers just to get where I have gotten so far, and obviously there are still more than likely more layers left. Can someone please help me! I will attach the original PNG, and a PNG of what I have gotten so far as to where I need it to look, besides the water part at the bottom. I was going to also include the AI file, but I’m not sure how to upload it into this forum.
Actually, here is the light burn file. It includes the original upload of the AI file and right next to it, is what I have edited so far from it.

Hi Hannah,
This is a pretty common issue for users coming from raster images and making a vector shape - your design is full of open shapes, which will not fill.
This video covers the topic very well:
You’ll want to select your artwork, then select the Edit Nodes tool.
Then look for the dark green circles and squares, which indicate an open shape
Then drag them, or join them together as per the video above.
We have a guide available here as well: Open vs. Closed Shapes - LightBurn User Guide
Try going through the ones that aren’t filling and delete. Seems to be a lot of duplicates.
We have a tool for that too! Delete Duplicates - LightBurn User Guide
It finds duplicates and I delete but still lots of duplicates left and it says no duplicates found. Something I must be missing. I also ungrouped.
@Hannah7685, did you notice how easy what @parsec did was?
