Problem with lofting

Hello, first time posting a question - I hope I include enough information :stuck_out_tongue:

I am trying to loft the joined inner and outer curves after shelling a brep with ‘ShellPsrf’. In this way I hope to get the miter surfaces then cap each piece, leaving the bottom open and flat. See below:

It works but one section is twisting. I’m trying to create a robust bit of code that will give me those miters regardless what shape I set into the starting Brep param.

Below is what I am aiming for after baking:

Please help and thank you :slight_smile:

Hello,I don’t know why, but I couldn’t get the package manager to connect now, so I wrote it in C#.

How about this?

Thanks to you both so far :slight_smile:

Mahdiyar, that worked well for the 5 sided pyramid, but when I tried it on a more irregular shape eg the one shown below…

… I get fragmented results:

I’ve attached your attempt below with this new shape. I know that anything is possible with Grasshopper, but am I asking too much for one bit of code to miter all shapes without unique tweaks each time?
