Upload you .3dm file so someone can look at it ? 🙄  
A picture says NOTHING in this situation  
Problem occurs on MAC or Windows ??? (While you post for both)

Hello Pascal,

1/ PT / create paneling grid / surface domain number  
2/ PT / grid utility / offset point  
3/ PT/paneling from grid / panel custom 3D

Thanks !

@gwen Hi Gwen - offset the surface (`_OffsetSrf _Solid=No`0 by the same as the grid offset (.3) and select it as one of the bounding surfaces - does that look better?
