Hi there,
I try to offset a polyline with Clipper Polyline Offset. It does result in a kind of offset, but it’s not very precise. Does any body have an idea to solve this issue?
Are you assigning a plane to the offset?
Hello
it seems quite clear, Clipper works with integer and not double so you have to provide a tolerance.
Tolerance MUST be say less than size/1000 and bigger than say size/1000000
here an example with 2 tolerances.
Tolerance must be well chosen and is scale dependent. So don’t use a too small tolerance because calculation will be very long.
And if it is not that you must check if you provide a “good” polyline to Clipper, it is best to do that with a dedicated component than to rely on automatic conversion.
And also it is better to post the file with geometry and script.
Do you mean for offset distance? I am offsetting double often, like 1.5 etc.
No not the offset. Clipper is transforming all double coordinate to int coordinate. It allows better reliability.

Ah yea that, gotcha.
