Offset surface both sides

Does anyone know how to offset surface both side on Mac? There is no option in the offset tool to choose both sides.

If this question is Grasshopper related (you did not specify a category) You can do two offsets, use a negative value and a positive value, then loft the connection. Or you can use Plug-ins like Pufferfish which have that option on the offset surface. Take your pick.

If you are wanting to offset surface in Rhino, it is the offset surface command options.

Take a look at the two screen shots. One is for the ring which doesn’t display the both side box and the other for a rectangle which does. Both are offset curves.
Can anyone tell me why it’s not showing up on the ring??

I’m also confused as to why sometimes the option is there and sometimes it isn’t…

Even if toggle set to true, it offset only oneside.. Ever happend befor ?

Btw I don’t know whats the code behind this, but for this surface the native “offset srf” component is much slower then yours and produce undesired effect… thanks for your plugin!

B is a distance not a Boolean :wink: (so you can set different distance on each side, use a negative distance to go opposite direction), it should be in the tool tip.
