Curve to mesh intersection geometry cleanup

I want to make poly strips out of some straight curves, and wherever I get an intersection I want to clean up the geo, essentially keeping only the outer silhouette -

was trying convoluted things like booelans and such, but maybe there’s a working solution already

Essentially I’d want this -
skin

There is an addon with a similar function.

looks cool, but I’d need it to be geo nodes as it’s part of a bigger node graph.

ok, made it work thanks to this one, in case someone from the future has the same problem -

boolean

A bit of raycast and it works great on non planar geo as well. If I get some time I clean up the mess I made and post a shot of the node graph, if I don’t forget about it that is.

edit -

just in case anyone finds this useful, or is able to improve it. Works great with planar geo or curves, I guess the weak point is non planar and that raycast method, it’s where things can become glitchy -
