Select the top rounded rectangle with the Selector Tool (the arrow pointer) then switch to the Shape Editor Tool. Drag a selection rectangle around the bottom two control points (the red outlined squares) and press the Delete key. Repeat this step for the other two rounded rectangles. The blue dashed outline represents the before stage.
Select the bottom control points and move them down to the bottom guideline. The easiest way to do this is to select both bottom control points, then use the down arrow key on your keyboard to move the points downward. If you hold down the Alt key while pressing the arrow key, the control points will move in 1 pixel increments. Your drawing should now look like the illustration above. TIP: To get rid of a guideline, right click on the guideline and select Delete from the pop up menu. To clear all guidelines on the page, right click on the screen ruler and select Delete All Guidelines.
Select just the lower left control point of the left yellow shape and move it to the left creating a tapered effect using the left arrow key. Clone the shape (Ctrl k ) and move it to the right of the center gray rectangle. Press the Flip Horizontally (shown on the right above) icon on the Infobar to flop the shape and align the left edge with the right edge of the center gray rectangle.
Select the bottom 3 yellow shapes (do not select the top yellow shape) and from the Arrange menu, select Combine Shapes... Add Shapes. This creates one shape with a single outline for the gateway. Save your drawing and take a short break.
