Is there a way to tell pipe surfaces to only exist where they won't intersect?

Essentially I’ve got a hexagonal grid and I’ve piped the lines (with the pipe component). However, the pipes intersect at both ends of each line, which is not good! So I’m looking for a way to make each pipe end where it intersects with another pipe. Or maybe a smarter component than pipe, that would accept the lines as a single entity rather than individually? Or a way to make pipe do that…

Thanks in advance!

There are some ways, you could pipe the hexagon (closed polyline), then extrude bot side the pentagon, cut the pipe and keep inside of the pipe. Will be easy on flat grid less simple on curved grid. But as you provide quite nothing … hard to say.
