So, I'm just going to make a crossing selection that encompasses these elements. And then I'll use this tool down here to isolate the objects and I'll choose hide objects. So that's temporarily hidden. And then, over here, this is the path that the object can take along this center line. And I need to get a cross sectional shape at the end of that line.
