But what I would like to do is trim the surface away so that we don't have the surface penetrating into the architecture. So to do that I'm going to begin by drawing a polyline, I'll type pl for polyline, enter. And sketch that polyline along the interior face of these courtyard walls. I'm going to snap that to the end points at the top of the wall like this. And this is far enough so I'll stop there and press enter. So now we have a green polyline there. I'll extrude that polyline down some arbitrary distance. Well below the surface. And then I'm going to move that up a short distance so that there's no ambiguity in that it definitely penetrates through this surface. Now I'll use the trim command.
