Best way to align multiple trapezoids

Hi,

I’m trying to put 4 trapezoids side by side so they form a funnel (or a big trapezoid formed by connecting smaller ones). What is the best way to do this? Each trapezoid will have different text and a different color, so I can’t create one big trapezoid with three lines in them.

My main challenge is getting the exact angle and positioning so it looks like a single object instead of 4 objects that aren’t aligned perfectly.

Thanks!

I pasted an existing triple trapezoid from the Gallery under Diagrams and copied the 4th layer from the third and enlarged it. The elements are “grouped”.

Ah, thanks. I never used the Gallery before an didn’t realize it existed. In fact, I installed the Gallery extension before I realized it wasn’t needed…

Activate Snap to grid (choose menu Tools - Options - LibreOffice Draw - Grid).
Draw with the Polygon, Filled tool (choose menu Shape - Insert - Curves and Polygons; also in the Drawing toolbar).
