I have this rectangle with of course a border around it on all four sides. I would like to delete two of these sides so you have a rectangle with only two colored sides instead of four. The problem is that the scissor tool does not work.
Answer
Simply add an anchor point with the pen tool in the middle of the path(s) you want to delete, then select that anchor point with the white arrow (direct selection tool) and delete it!
Edit… as requested
You do what I suggested above for one side.
Then you can do what I suggested above for the other side as well.
If you want to keep some filling, you’ll need to add a rectangle with no stroke and send it to the back… with your 2 strokes left on the foreground 😀
If you need to delete 2 paths that touch each others, simply use the white arrow (direct selection tool) and select the corner of these 2 paths… then press “delete”
