Offset curve multiple times

A couple things might be useful to know.

  1. Read this thread: Offset madness

  2. Sometimes when you get kinks and bends like in your first picture, it can help to extend the curve before you offset it. After that, use shatter to cut the offsets back down to the lengths you want.

  3. The part where you get hard points in the middle of the curve is a normal result using offset. If you want to soften them, use Discontinuity to locate the points, place circles on them, shatter the curves with the circles, and Blend them back together. vary the circle radius to vary the blend.
