: Partial Overlap of an Object in Illustrator The black part of this image is the outline of the State of Georgia, and the orange part is a line that is meant to have the effect of orbiting

Convert the orange stroke to outline.
Copy the black shape
Click on the orange shape and paste the black shape in Front (Control F)
Select the new black shape and the orange shape and use the pathfinder Divide tool to divide the shapes
Cut the orange part that should be in front of the black shape
Delete any duplicate black, orange and transparent shapes that appeared as a result of Divide tool
Paste in Front (Control F)


This should do it.

If you want to give the orange shape a little depth use a gradient fill and make the part that comes out underneath the black shape a bit darker.
