QGiS 3.0: Line length without overlapping parts












1















I have overlapping lines in my layer and want a total length of the visible line without the overlapping part.



i.e.



I have two lines



First one goes A-B-C



Second one is B-C-D



How do I get the length from A-B-C-D?
