Splitting Curves at Intersection Points, Selecting bottom halves

I'm unsure of my underlying approach, but my end goal  is to split the catenary curves I've generated connecting from a central vertex point above an ellipse, to x division points located along the ellipse.

I'm trying to split them off at a certain height, to utilize the lower (or upper if I needed to) portions of the curves.

My end goal is to create a lofted catenoid-looking object, that fills the surface area represented by only the lower curve sections after splitting the original catenoid curves.

Any help, or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Easily enough, I have achieved a solid difference operation which returned a brep for the section I'm interested in, but I realized I need to "surface" as opposed to a "brep" as grasshopper sees it, to utilize this generated figure the way I intend to.

Thanks, 

Zack

Hi.

Is this what you are after?

That's exactly what I was after! Thanks.

I'm still pretty new to GH, and wasn't aware of that rebuild curve component, which seems to make things niiiice and tidy there at the end.

Much appreciation
