Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed! :D

You could 'Explode' all the polylines and use 'InCurve' to make sure BOTH end points of each segment are within the circle (radial_2017Mar8a.gh):

Or you could check just the mid-point of each line segment, which returns lines that cross the circle (radial_2017Mar8b.gh).

Then you could 'Shatter' those lines that intersect the circle and ignore the parts outside the circle; I'll leave that part to you. ;-)

Ah shucks, just do it the easy way!  'Trim With Region' (the circle)
