image overlay for outline problem

[Badger1bear]

Hi guys I have worked on a picture of a car today. Traced bitmap all the way thru to finish The car.
I did the same for the company logo and I put that below the car so I could cut the car into the logo.
I clicked on raise car to top. Made sure that both images were Un grouped. Selected all of the logo and then selected all of the car. Clicked path union and all I get is the outline of the car and nothing inside ? I did exactly the same thing the other day with a vw camper van sitting in front of a vw logo and it worked perfect. I can't see what im doing wrong or what I got right (quite by chance) the other day.

I don't know how to upload images so if you don't mind here is a link to my question on the Inkscape page

Hi Simon,
The Inkscape Facebook group is private and can only be accessed by members. So sorry, but I can't see your images. You could go ahead and share them here. See the image below.

Click on "Full Editor & Preview" button below, then click on "Attachments", "Add files" and select the image or file you wish to share.

Remember when you do a function like join or difference and it does not do what you want just go to edit and click on undo and it goes back to where you were before the change. here is a video on how to used the different path rules (about half way through). this guy has good videos on YouTube for Inkscape, just click on his name and it will take you to his channel to view others by him, it is not subscribing to him just looking.
