Split curve(s) by intersection with other curve(s)

i am able to split curves based on the intersection with a closed curve using 'containment'...but what is the way to split curves based on the intersection with open curve(s)?

1) find all the curve parameters where the curve intersects other curves.

2) shatter the curve using those parameters.

Might be quite complicated depending on your specific case though.

Hi,

I need to split many curves at their intersections, without loosing their direction (dir 1, 2, 3 and 4).

To find the intersections, I used the "multiple curves" (MCX) component.

I was thinking about using the Shatter component to split the curves at the intersections, but I am having trouble to understand how MCX works, and how I should manage with the hierarchy in the trees to have the right output, that I could link to Shatter.

Could you help me to understand the MCX component?Thanks,

I checked it but the cluster doesn't work.

I tried to use one of the first solutions you gave in this topic also, I managed to do something but it doesn't really work, and I think it is because I don't understand properly the outputs of the MCX component
