Use the Trim tool to delete an internal contour up to the intersection with another segment. You can trim between:

  • One internal contour & another internal contour
  • A contour & an internal contour

This tool can be used together with Extend Internal Object to create intersecting lines. Extend a line further than needed and then trim it to obtain the required intersection.
