I'm not sure this is the best way...

Would you have an idea on how to remove only one of the intersecting lines and keep the other?

Hi Anton,

what about cases where a line intersects 2 or more lines?

We had a similar discussion a while ago about colliding objects (http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/cull-one-colliding-object...)

We didn't find a perfect solution but we got close. You could probably modify those definitions to find line intersections instead of boxes collisions.

Hope it helped a bit.

I started my solution believing this was a simple task but it quickly became clear to me that it is a pretty complex mathematical problem (at least for my level). If you get anywhere with this please post back.

cheers!
