Extruding all around

[dcn7277 (Dillon Narcisse)]

I’m making a grip for a hearing device and wanted to create a nice extruded contour all the way around. but it seems as if its only moving towards the x I want it to extrude frontwards

the file links are here:
exrtusion.gh (9.9 KB)
and the rhino file of the model:

fuzeaid13 final 1.3dm

Also here is an similar example of what I am trying to create…

Hi Dillon

I cannot help you if you should upload your file.

Hey, I updated the post with an example and the files, sorry if I didn’t set a duration on the post, my deadline is Sunday, November 11th

Hi dcn7277

I didn’t know why you used mesh so I created it with surface for extrude frontwards.
Please check uploaded file.

Thank you, I seen what you did. Would I loft them together to make a surface? like those pictures I put in the post

You could do something like this (see attached).

Thank you, that works, I was wondering how to connect it together as a surface where it shoes the indention of the extrusion …

I really want to create this type of texture that is below

@Adam_M

[Adam_M (Adam Mounsey)]

There is a solid in there which has the indentations in it. Are you looking for an open polysurface instead of a solid?

[dcn7277 (Dillon Narcisse)]

I’m looking for a solid

[dcn7277 (Dillon Narcisse)]

@Adam_M I’m sorry if I’m a bit bothersome I’m new to grasshopper

[Adam_M (Adam Mounsey)]

The component highlighted in the image above is the solid you are looking for…I think. If you Bake that object into Rhino, you will see the solid.

[dcn7277 (Dillon Narcisse)]

@Adam_M I see it, but the extruded lines are not continuous up the body

[Adam_M (Adam Mounsey)]

You just have to try different approaches until you get to what you are looking for.

Here I changed the vector input for the Contour component to 60deg.

On my screen it docent shown that line continuity when I highlight that component

[Adam_M (Adam Mounsey)]

Strange. Maybe it is an issue with tolerance settings.

[dcn7277 (Dillon Narcisse)]

how would I fix that? @Adam_M

[dcn7277 (Dillon Narcisse)]

@Adam_M I tried changing the tolerances didn’t change nothing is there anyway you can bake it for me and email it to me, it’s not working

[Adam_M (Adam Mounsey)]

Here you go.
