I am currently working on updating and maintaining a workbench from a previous colleague and am having a little trouble with adapting to a certain aspect of the output schema that we need to follow. The shapefile that we are reading from has multiple very close together lines representing the different vertices of a kerb feature, anywhere from 2-5 lines. Without manually removing the excess lines, is there any way to only keep the lines that would represent the back-of-kerb, or rearmost line.

Can you share a bit more information, or a sample, of your source data? That would help people in trying to come up with a solution for you.

This should have the shapefile I have been given to train on attached, and the instruction that caused this issue for me.
