Extrude surfaces in both directions

Grasshopper

Hi,

I wanted to extrude a couple of surfaces like the following photo.

However, I failed to do it. What I get is this.

Perhaps you should do Offset Surface instead of extrude, with Solid option ON (YES) or whatever it was.

@ivelin.peychev. thank you

Still one problem. the corners are not extruded.

You won’t be able to do that because it is a polysurface and not a single surface. Instead extend either the smaller surface(solid) both ways by the thickness, or the longer solids in direction of the smaller one. Then use boolean union (SolidUnion)

A workaround…

Hello,
I have model thing strip in surfaces and I want to put a thickness inside direction. I don’t have grasshopper, I am using Rhino7. purpose is to 3D print. If I extrude surface corners don’t get extrude or it overlap.

?
If you’re using Rhino 7, you surely have no choice but to have the grasshopper feature. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

If you are an absolute beginner to GH, it’s a good idea to learn some basics first.

Hi - I don’t see how this is related to Grasshopper at all. Also see https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/add-thickness/.
