Further to my previous comment about needing to be able to re-select and edit the original selection. Why not make the selection an object itself, like a mask? That way you can precisely draw where you want the intertwine to occur, rather than a shaky lasso selection or a rigid box. You would then apply the intertwine and change the layering of the other objects. Would be very easy then to go back and edit it (and the layering of the other objects) as required.

What you call "Artifacts" I call a cool option, to have the intertwine disappear halfway through another object, making them look like they've intersected! Can draw the selection to sort of paint the objects on top of each other.
What IS disappointing, is that I can't seem to reselect the bounding box for the original selection I drew. When intertwining more than two items, it works well at the time of the initial selection, to move objects forwards/backwards in the layering while the bounding box is still selected/visible. But if I go back later to EDIT the intertwine, I have to redraw the selection box, which won't match the original at all. THIS results in weird artifacts where the two different selections are now slicing the object into multiple parts. You need to be able to select the initial selection box, to then change the order of the objects within.
AND, it appears that you have to do this for every change - the new box that you just drew disappears once you right-click/move just one of the overlapping lines. So you really need to be able to reselect the existing bounding box.
(Would also be VERY cool, if you can modify the selection itself. Say you change the width of an object's line, and it now extends past the original selection area, resulting in the partial overlap artifact. Just modify the selection to enclose the updated width, and it's done.)

AND has now lost the effect in the Appearance window! The effect is still there on the object, but clicking the object I don't see the "crosshair" icon. And going to the Appearance window, the effect is not there, so I cannot alter it further. AND if I try to add the 3D Bevel effect again, I get a warning saying only some objects are supported and that I can't apply a second effect. Yet it does show now in the Appearance window, but it isn't the one that is being applied! So I cannot get back to the effect to alter it or even remove it.
