Extrusion problem with inner curves

Hy,
I am having troubles when creating a extrusion profile.
When I add curves as inner profiles these will translate to somehwere else when performing the extrusion:

curves:

extrusion:

the code is as follows:

ObjRef thisCrv = RS.GetObject(“outer crv”, Rhino.DocObjects.ObjectType.Curve);
ObjRef crv1 = RS.GetObject(“inner crv”, Rhino.DocObjects.ObjectType.Curve);
ObjRef crv2 = RS.GetObject(“inner crv”, Rhino.DocObjects.ObjectType.Curve);

Extrusion newExtr = Extrusion.Create(thisCrv.Curve(), 100, true);
newExtr.AddInnerProfile(crv1.Curve());
newExtr.AddInnerProfile(crv2.Curve());
doc.Objects.AddExtrusion(newExtr);

Does anybody have an idea how to solve this?

Here is an example that you might find useful.

Hy Dale, thanks so much fpr the reply. This was very useful.
Now in the meantime I learned how extrusions work… They are quite tricky I have to say.

Hi Dale, I have the same confusion here, but the link to epiphany is not working anymore…

Dale, wow you’re quick… thanks a lot!

So, “Closed curve in the XY plane or a 2d curve.” means the inner profiles need to be oriented in the XY-plane relative to the XY-space of the outer profile! I had them all in the XY-plane, but didn’t realize that the outer profile defines the parameter space for all of the profiles in the extrusion. Makes sense now but almost drove me nuts… merci!
