Here's a part of my artwork, and I want to erase just the lines between the squares.

Here's a picture of what I want to do:



all the black lines marked with red lines have to be erased.

My question is if I can erase them by drawing a line above the black lines with some tool, like cutting the black lines between the squares and not the lines that are inside the squares?

Select all the windows and paths....

Grab the Shape Builder Tool

Hold down the Option/Alt key

Drag across what you don't want.

This will have a tendency to make each of the 4 window panes separate shapes rather than one shape with two lines over it.

NOTE: You will want to ensure your dividing lines actually touch the edges of the window shapes. You've got a couple lines that don't fully extend to window edges.

You can achieve the same result even easier :) You need to use "Divide" tool of the "Pathfinder" panel. If you don't have this panel opened just go to "Main menu --> Window --> Pathfinder" to make it visible.

Here's a short screencast to show this tool in action: quick.as/6aV5sP65B
Hope you'll find it helpful :)
Have a nice day!
