Hi again @brian

Another question :

This is a joint curve with 3 elements (two lines and one arc), is this case rhino
offset create two extra lines, seams to me that is not ok, isn’t it supposed to maintain the same uniformity of the elements?

When it explodes, the two curves are supposed to have the same number of elements.

Thanks

Hello - I don’t know if offset could pay attention to linear vs arc extensions as the Fillet command does - it seems at least possible, I can add this to the wish pile.

Hello @pascal

I understand but, my manual example is the correct one for a offset , I will try make my onw
offset for now, but in my option is better fix this.

Thanks

This is debatable, I would say - it is the answer you want, but when a curve must be extended, ‘correct’ is not that clear. In any case, I will add a wish item.

Yes I agree :slight_smile:

Yes, that’s my point of view, and I think it should work (not invalidating any other way) .

At least I can say that autocad and DraftSigth works this way.

This is my version:

At least the way I think.

thanks
