    Here I have a circle and need the outline of London's tower bridge to be part of the circle and need the bottom of the circle removed but I just can't figure out how to do it!  I'm losing my mind can someone please explain how this is done? :)  As I'm rubbish at explaining the above Ive also attached a crude sketch too of what I'm trying to achieve.

    Thanks in advance

    Kindest regards

    Hi @TylerDurden, followed you upto the point were these 2 blue/yellow squares were created but couldnt see how these were made, is there a button I should be pressing that I cant see?  Thanks so much for your help!

    Adding a rectangle with snapping and Path->Difference is probably easier:

    @killer,  I forgot to activate my click display... a double click adds a node at the pointer location.
