Distinguishing cut vs score lines after loading

Hi All. New to gf.

I designed a chimney scene this weekend using inkscape. It is 3 walls that have score lines for the bricks.

When I load it, I cannot select the bricks and tell the software to score it. I can only select everything to do a single action. In total, my project had about a dozen pieces and after loading them they all acted as a single unit after loading. To get around this, I had to safe the file multiple times and load it in pieces.

Is it possible to create the svg or import the svg so that it won’t act as a single unit?

Thanks!

Make the lines you want to use for different operations different colors.

I recommend following the “Your First Prints” tutorial: https://support.glowforge.com/hc/en-us/articles/360033633394-3-Make-a-Gift-Tag-from-Scratch

If your are using Inkscape you can change the line color by changing the stroke color. This will allow separate operations when you upload the file
