Offset brep

Grasshopper
1

I’m trying to offset brep in such a way that in a top view offset would remain same shape as the original brep. It’s not a problem in cases when the offset in top view is larger than original - I can simply cut off the unnecessary parts. Problem arises in cases where offset is smaller than original - then there is a gap in a plan view.
I understand that it’s just a nature of the offset that dictates behavior like this - but maybe someone has come across similar problem an has some solution…

For the offset I was using Sasquatch Brep offset component.

To me, It doesn’t look like a ramp, but a stair without steps, :wink: anyway, Offset Brepof sasquatch works as expected and IMO, what you want to achieve is not offset, but rather extrude.

Thanks for looking in to this! Unfortunately extrude is not exactly what I’m after because in this way the thickness of the brep is not the same everywhere…
