    Hello.Β 
    I am very new to Inkscape. Just about a week!

    For hand drawn murals, I do composition of my Linear curved lines on paper, the good old way. Now with Inkscape I can create proposals and mock-ups much faster.

    I have created a curved belief curve. Duplicated it many times and rearranged them according to my liking. Have grouped them all. Now I want to cut away both the edges with a shape or line. See attached image. The blue are the cutting shape.Β 
    Β How do I achieve cutting/dividing grouped BΓ©zier curves.

    Thank you.

    To simply hide the ends, maybe this:

    For removing actual geometry, maybe this:

    Thank you very much indeed, Tyler.

    I tried it out and it worked. So the important thing is to COMBINE the bezier curves and not group them, before performing divide or cut.

    Thank you once again.Β
