Removing part of the line that defines a rectangle
Dear All,
Given a rectangle, how to remove a piece of the its line?
Thanks in advance,
Paul
Convert the object to a path. Swith to the node tool and select the nodes on the line you want to delete. Use the break apart comand to make two nodes at the corners, select the line, and delete.
It might be faster to re-draw the 3 sides you want with bezeir tool and snapping and deleting the rectangle after.
Note: You cant fill an object that is not closed.

Thanks, Aaron. Your first method works if one wants to remove the entire line. But imagine that one wants to remove only a little bit of the line (not the entire line). Can it be done without the Bezier tool?

If you only want to remove part of it, create an additional helper object to cut off that path via Path->Division, then Path->Break Apart and delete the part you don't need anymore. I hope this is more what you need.

After converting the object to path I would just double click to add nodes where I want the path cut and then use the "break path at selected nodes" button.

Yes, you can. It works on my version of Inkscape.

You're right. My mistake.
