BUG - Extrude - Negative Value Creates Invalid Brep

Grasshopper

1

Hello,

I found a bug in 8.8.24142.13001 with the Extrude component.

If given a negative value, the extrude component creates an invalid Brep, if given a positive value it is fine.

I get that I’m “extruding the opposite of the face normal” with a negative value but the resulting brep should be a new solid brep with outward facing normals correct? That’s how it’s always worked to my knowledge and to go in now and need to add surface normal checking/flipping for each instance like this seems like a bug so I’m reporting it here as such.

Downstream, the invalid Brep will also not Push in a Content Cache.

Just for reference, this is what I see in 8.7.24113.23001 (I guess it´s the latest SRC 8.7.X).

Kindly bumping this to the top again… Hoping this can be fixed in the next SR maybe?

To me this seems like the problem is in the Merge Faces component.

I recently started seing a problem which could be related. I’m using this script to create offset breps and it also uses the Merge Faces component.
