Offset polyline

[Alfredo_Peña]

Hi,

I’d like to get the offset of this polyline:

When I use the Offset Curve component, the behavior is as expected up to a certain threshold, after which some segments disappear:

And when using the Clipper offset, it always produces a closed curve, which is not what I want:

The desired result would be:

Have you tried Offset Curve Loose?

What Rhino version are you using?

Wierd. Seems like a bug. Using today’s update.

In the meantime, here is an imperfect solution using Offset Curve Loose, as Martin suggests:

imperfect solution using Offset Curve Loose

Why is it “imperfect”?

[Volker_Rakow]

Because it culls the polyline at the collapse of the first segment, and then real deal would null at the collapse of all.
