Merge Overlapping curve - Is there a node?

[saju_autodesk]

I am working on merging overlapping curves to form continuous shapes, which I need to later use for creating area boundaries. I’ve been struggling with this task for several hours without success. My goal is to merge the overlapping lines and remove any duplicates to obtain a clean list of curves. This will allow me to group the curves and position an area element at the center of the resulting polygon. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The curve list iam working on is included in the file here.

An example (sketched) would be good.

Unless you mean this:

Subtract lines

I have two lines. I would like to subtract them so I am only left with the black bit of the longer line. What’s the best way to do this? [image] I actually have dozens of lines in different directions and I want to keep the bits of lines that have no overlap… So a simple, “get endpoint” and make a new line will not work.

Hi @saju_autodesk probably something here could work in that case

PS so nice with that node dataremember truly gamechanger

thanks, @sovitek While this approach is effective for the current example, a more robust workflow that simply combines the lines might be necessary. This method employs a ‘Group by Distance’ strategy, As I previously mentioned this is used to establish area boundaries from walls. However, grouping by distance doesn’t always ensure accurate group formation. For example, if the areas are in close proximity, they might be incorrectly grouped together as one. Does that sound right?

yeah i have just tried on your sample and something here sould work…in other situation we probably need another approach…depends
