(ultimate wip).
Offset srf does not run properly on this surface (I see there is an abnormality in normal directions).

This surface is not offset correctly. I thought it worked with Rhino 7, but nothing.

Thanks.

This is generally a better situation for other operations as well… Splitting should just happen, and merging should be the thing you have to do deliberately. I have not got any traction with that over the years. SplitAttangents=Yes/No in some commands is the best we have. source: Cap command is corrupting the surface
divide along creases also helps before exporting as STL for 3d printing.
