• The relation of the outer lines of the "wall" must be 45 degrees or less to each other. (Parallel lines would be an angle of zero).

• Submit a limitation not listed.

• Submit an alternate use not listed

Select first point of a line crossing the "LEG" set of lines/plines/mlines:

Select the first point of the line. This set of lines/plines/mlines will be the line that will die in to the other set of lines/plines/mlines. (will be the bottom line if the " T " is standing upright)

Second point:

Select this point. 

Select second point of line crossing "CAP" set of lines/plines/mlines or <Enter>/<Space> to select new start point for crossing line:

Select this final point crossing the "cap" or top of the " T " if it is upright. 

If for whatever reason you can't cross the second set of lines using the second point of the first line as the first point for the second line press <Enter>/<Space> and you will be prompted to provide an alternate starting point for the second crossing line.

--the wall lines will be trimmed as necessary to form the "T" shape--
