I need to crop a complex object so that only part of it is visible. How can I do this? I tried convert to path and intersection but it doesn't work with the object I made, which is a whole lotta parts put together.

Anyway to do this?

There still may be several ways to accomplish what you want, depending on your specific situation. And I'm not knowledgable enough to give you step-by-step instructions. But in general, a Clip or Mask might do it. Or you could break all the relevant paths at the place you want it cropped, then delete the unwanted parts.

I'm sure other members will reply with more helpful comments.
Good luck

I found a way to do it well enough for my purposes, it involved masking and I had to look it up on the manual I downlaoded one piece at a time and assembled as a pdf, with a friend's help.

A clip would be more suitable than a mask, but both will do the job.
