Hi all, I am looking for a way to ‘clean up’ a set of overlapping curves (or surfaces):
I’m getting somewhere using the script shared here:
But in the next step I need to pair curves with intersection regions, and decide which curve is trimmed an which curve not…

Thanks a lot!
there’s a very interesting conversation (actually there are many, this is just one of those) related to celtic knots that have many curve bridge/intersection that I think might be very beneficial, for sure there’s something you can take from there: Celtic Knotwork self-intersections and intersections
generally speaking, if your surfaces are planar and have constant thickness (meaning they can be generated as a double offset of a central-axis curve, or as a section of a pipe) then it becomes much easier to work with those (see the following on how to get axis curve -assuming thickness is constant-)

in particular this single post from Martin, there’s a “before” and an “after” that post, be prepared, gamechanging stuff in there: Celtic Knotwork self-intersections and intersections - #53 by martinsiegrist
Interresting question to see if it can be solved with common components.
Question: How would you choose on what curves to trim and what not?
At random? Max number per curve? Left/right?
Because some decision has to be made there.
Hi, thanks so much! Very interesting approaches, both for multiple curves and self-intersecting curves. Great material to study, too.
Thanks again!
