Offsetting Torus or round pipe

Rhino

Hi!
Why I can’t get closed surface when offsetting torus or round pipe?

Yes, I can do it again with offsetted dimensions but… Rhino 6

Yep, and offsetting a torus makes a bad object as well… in both V6 and V7. @wim, can you write this up? I have to go out now for awhile.

Thanks Mitch - I’ll write something up. I was just looking at this and had it reproduced but then tried in a different Rhino scheme and it worked…

Hi Wagner -

Thanks for that example. It looks like the Corner=Sharp option is responsible for that behavior. If you set it to Corner=Round, it will create a valid closed object. I’ve written this up as RH-63073.

Note that it sounds like you have “object checking” turned off. I would run CheckNewObjects to turn this on so that you get notified when bad objects are added to the document.

Hi!
Thank you for clearing out this :slight_smile: Nice customer service!

Wim: Thanks for the tip “round”.
What I remember, I turned object checking off because it disturbed my working…

It shouldn’t. If you are getting that dialog popping up frequently, then there is something wrong. And you definitely do want to know immediately when bad objects are created.
