Re: [Inkscape-user] Removing part of the line that defines arectangle
Draw rectangle, "Object to path" Click a side of the rectangle "insert new nodes" "insert new nodes" position as needed, "split path between nodes"
Or
Draw a rectangle, draw a shape that defines the chunk of the wall to be missing, "Path/Difference" then edit path by nodes, then split path, then delete nodes as needed.

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?

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.

Object to path, double click, double click, select the bit in the middle, and do delete segment (6th button in from left on toolbar)
that delete segment applies to the difference method too.

Thanks. That's a simple explanation. I've made a visual step-by-step version. SVG Attached.
To break the rectangle down completely convert the strokes to paths too. (ctrl-alt-c)
