How to convert lines to polygons
i building compass rose using star tool 4 points , adding straignt lines end points corresponding end point. ultimately, i'll replicate whole image scaling, copy 3 times, , rotate each 22.5 degrees create final rose.
i want give 3d effects shading half of each point on star it's polygon (the star) straight lines splitting points. shade need have star 8 triangles can fill (4 of them).
other tracing create 1 of triangles (and replacation , transforms locate) there way convert star polygon , straight lines triangles?
using cs5.

make sure straight lines extend beyond outline of star. select each straight line , use object>path>divide objects below. make star star tool use arrow add points. select intervening points , scale 70%. draw path extends farther longest extent. duplicate path center 7 more times. align star , paths , hide 7 of paths; use object>path>divide objects below. show paths repete hide cut , show. should this..
