Hi Thom,
I think you can do what you want quite easily.

Run all of your line features through a Counter to give them a unique
ID (unless they have one already).

Then set the TopologyBuilder group-by to use the unique ID.

Doing this will exclude overlapping lines from the node generation;
overlaps would only get noded where their IDs are the same. However,
nodes are still created where end-points meet.

Hope this helps,

Mark
