Connect closed offsets at corners

Hi all, on the back of my previous post, I wanted to raise this issue on a new topic, in order for the curves to not overlap, is it possible that we can move each end point of the offset further back each time, to create the same distance gap as the straight offset lines?

I cannot open your .gh file. It has pupperfish plugin (I do not want to install that) and then crashes my rhino. So please upload small simple example.
Second time I waited 5 minutes. Just bypassed the pupperfish stuff. And could get those curves in seperate file to work on.

I have been trying a couple of options. As you see the curves are crossing over eachother what makes is hard to work with.
Best would be to:

  • cut the first line in parts, on the points you want this outer circle.
  • use “extended curve” with negative value to make every part a bit shorter.
  • use the “corner” point as middle of a circle )
  • then create those circles (or just use a segment of them)
  • and connect them with Connect Curves
    But most important: try to prevent curves crossing over eachother.

Same—felt exhausting to explain; thanks @Eef_Weenink

What do you mean by ‘discontinuity manipulated’?

I guess the issue with your previous {solved} post was that you’re asking for something “similar” to something else (hand-drawn sketch), while here you’re asking a question that might be a tiny bit misleading :slight_smile:

Short answer: yes.

Not the same thing here, though, just insight:

If you’d like help on your current system, please share a simplified (internalized) part of the code, clipped where you want us to start from, as Eef suggested. Waiting for this script to load/compute isn’t fun anymore! :winking_face_with_tongue:

Cheers!

That is quite amazing Rene, thank you.
