Make a duplicate copy (Ctrl d) of the center gray rectangle and set it to the side for a moment. Select the original gray rectangle and the yellow gateway shape and Arrange > Combine Shapes... Subtract Shapes . This step removes a gateway from the center of the yellow shape.
Reduce the duplicate rectangle to 20 pixels wide. Make an additional duplicate and place one on each side of the gateway opening. Create a new rectangle, 134 pixels wide by 20 pixels tall and align this rectangle to the top of the two tall rectangles. Draw a new rectangle 155 pixels wide by 20 pixels tall. Press the Corner Curvature icon on the Infobar to round the corners.
Select the three rectangles shown above in pale olive and Arrange > Convert to Editable Shapes. Switch to the Shape Editor Tool and one rectangle at a time, move the control points shown above to make a picture frame type of mitered corner. Make a duplicate of the far left gray rectangle and move it all the way to the right. Send it to the back (Ctrl b ). This completes the basic shapes for the stucco covered adobe wall and gateway.
Select the Shape Editor Tool, and press the Make Line icon on the Infobar if it is not already selected. Click a series of control points as shown above making a rough mountain shape. Click the last control point on top of the first control point to create a "closed path". The shape will fill black if you do this correctly. Still using the Shape Editor Tool , drag the top lines, like rubber bands, to create rounded curves as shown in the second example. I have applied a deep green fill to my mountain shape. We will change the exact color later on in the tutorial.
