infinite line

Hi every one! Sorry for my english, but i am try to figure out)

I used to be that in the Solidworks, for example, a line despite the fact that it have a length, has also some endless properties, for example when i am looking for intersection of two line doesn't matter has its realy intersection or not i still can find the point of intersection. So, what about grasshopper? How i can find intersection of two not intersection line? Or, so more important for me, construct circle tangent for two short line.

Try to use tool from Intersect tab -> Mathematical -> Line|Line, and then put this point into P input(или сдвинь немного точку, она очевидно находится в зоне, где окружность построить невозможно).

Ok, i am didn't know about mathematical intersection, i am new in grasshopper. Thank you! It was stupid qustion. And of course i can use huge number for extend curve it's not beautiful but i can.

And by the way about guide point. What kind of point is realy mean in this component? Center of circle or point on the circle?

And this is exemple where you example didn't work.

There is other component but its behavior is not predictable too. What is really mean reference point? I'd litle bit changed it place and result was absolutely different. Where i could place her? Is it possible to orient on the line direction, not to reference point?
