EXAMPLES OF INKSCAPE DRAWINGS HOW TO
I have to dash off to catch the train, but I can give a more beginner-oriented description of how to do what I think you're trying to do this evening (if someone here doesn't beat me to it, which they very well might ) I tried many tutorials on Youtube and those in the manual, but I'm not getting anywhere. I forgot to mention that I am completely new to this Most of your replies are way over my head, so I'm packing it in.

In this case the wire is a single path with a clipping path applied to it to hide the parts that are "behind" the toroid. On the right is an alternative approach which is probably overkill for your needs, but demonstrates how you can "hide" parts of a path if they need to go under something else. In fact for what you want I would draw the wire as a thick line made up of separate paths, get it into about the right shape, then use Path > Stroke to Path to give you a more complex path that you can fill and stroke to look more like a wire (though you'll need to do some tidying up with ). For what you want, this would probably be the easiest approach. On the left I've made up the turns from multiple separate paths. It's not quite what you're asking for, as I've only drawn the wires as a single path, but shows the basic approach. I called it a tiny atom smasher!

By chance, I drew something like a "torus" some time ago. Oh! How funny! I just looked up "toroid" in Wikipedia. But I'm really guessing about your siuation. It's like druban said, you may need 2 lines wires. In reality, a wire goes through the center, but to illustrate this, part of the line needs to be "under" and another part "over" the concentric circles? If that's the case, you can't do it with a single line. Question - Is the toroid shown in simulated 3D, so that if we're looking at it say from a 45 degree angle to the face of the 2 concentric circles (like if you spin a coin on a table and it stops 45 deg to the face of the coin, and doesn't fall over). Then one line will touch the top and one line will touch the bottom. I thought you had 2 concentric circles with a vertical or diagonal line across them, and you wanted to delete the part of the line inside the circles. It might be helpful if we could see an example of what you want to do. That's not even possible in real life, lol! Object A cannot be both under and on top of object B.
