Offset curve error - C1 polycurve from simple Bezier curve

Offset produces a bad result for the simple single span degree 3 (Bezier) curve in the attached file. The result is a polycurve with discontinuous curvature (C1 continuity) between the two constituent curves. This occurs with offset curves on both sides of the input curve. The offset of a curve should have the same continuity as the input curve unless there is a kink due to the offset distance being too large. That is not the situation with this curve.

The offset distance varies from the specified 5 to 5.056 (Offset distance was measured as the distance from the input curve to the offset curve along a curve perpendicular to the input curve.) This is also an error.

This may be related to offset curve problem previously reported in Offset error Trim option RH-65627

Yep, looks like that is fixed in the latest.

Will the fix be in the next public SRC? I’m currently using Version 7 SR11
(7.11.21257.7001, 2021-09-14) which the most recent public SCR.

Hi David- the fix is in 7.12.
