Start with an object to be outlined. Use offset at distance 0 to make
the outline on your object. (I usually use input C type for outlines)
Draw a cutting line across your object and its outline where you want
the outline to start and stop. Select the outline and cutting line.
Use the divide function. Delete the cutting line (it will probably be in
three parts now) and the half of the outline you don't want. Done.
