I have seen there is a Pie Chart object, but being honest it is not as good as Visio, and wondered if you can point me in the right direction to reproduce the following:
And with Boxes (with the same coloured segments)
I cannot seem to do either in Lucid, and currently having to create the circles in Powerpoint. Though no current way of making the (coloured) squares, unless I use Visio.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You can use the search bar above your shapes to find many more. For example, if you search for “Pie Chart”:
Then if you bring that shape onto your workspace and click on it, you’ll see this right sidebar where you can specify the percentage value that should be shaded, along with the colors:
However, this does not help you if you want to show more than one segment.
I would go to a spreadsheet for that, since you can export a pie chart as an image and paste it …. but I agree this appears to be a limitation.

Hey Bram,
Thanks for the reply. Yes I did try the pie-chart, but its more complicated than it needs to be (compared to Visio), and I need to show more than one segment so the Pie Chart option has no value. Lol, who designs a “Pie Chart” feature and only allow one “slice”?
I was more interested in the “segmented squares” but I know the Lucid answer would be to customise an object and hack a shape together - which is not a very good process to build business documentation.
Currently I am being forced to do it “at home” in Visio and then importing into Lucid, which highlights where the functionality is. Sadly not in lucid. Their redesign of the document layout as it is has lost at least 60% of the “real estate” of my screen to menus I will never (ever ever ever) use. So it shows where the priorities lie.
Thanks again for reaching out, I certainly appreciate your time.
Cheers,
Mark
