With
your mouse, drag the rectangle so that you can't see the beveled edges.
Leave the beveled edges sticking out so they don't show in the strip.
If your rectangle is not high enough for this, use the transformer tool
to resize it so that it is higher than the strip, and so the bevel does
not show on top or bottom. In the image to the left, you can see
how the rectangle sticks out on the left, top and bottom by the outline
shown by the transformer tool. |
