Boundary surface not computing when Contour starts from point

When i do a contour without a starting Point, the boundary surface computes normally. But when i put a starting Point in the Contour parameter, the boundary surface does not compute and projects itself to the XY Plane. Check picture.

Seems to be all working the way it should. What exactly is the problem?

No. There is no boundary surface created. It is projected on xy plane. Open file to see.

Well, yeah. You are giving Boundary Surface many different curves at different heights and asking it to create a single planar curve. It has to choose some plane for that, so it chooses XY.

So why does it work when not applying a starting point ?

It is. It is offsetting contours from the starting point.

Here without point

You need to look more closesly at your data structure. You provided Contour with 3 different points. It’s going to create a tree with contours all in disarray, so that Boundary will not know which one to put with which.

So what is the solution ? Because now we enter math and data, not my strongest talent.

Thanks. Move was not necessary, it turns out i could keep the point but had to disable the Z direction.

I only put it in there to demonstrate that, yes, the contours are changing with a move of the point.

Please mark a solution.

Thank you pal.
