Roof simple for Any shape

I’m trying to design roof with any shape - curve ( close or open ).

● Also I have some solution but I feel it’s heavy and I know that I fake it.
I used lofte tool but curve must be open - it’s mean that I fake tolerance of top of it for 0.0001

● Is there some way how to say that I want to split surface and move it up middle line ?

  • Because for S line type curve it doesn’t work at all :frowning:

● I tried to deconstruct for points but I was stuck with tree.
also I tried to use just curve but loft doesnt work.

● I’ll be glad for any help or kick how to use it.
● WithOut plugins

=> My goal is to keep possibility to use for many lines with different curves shape.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Hi, give this a try :slight_smile:
it’s just a sketched solution in 2 minutes, so it handles only one open -or closed- curve per time

For open Curve Types, I believe Sweep2 will be a more apt approach. as it avoids the step to close the Curves after Offset.

I couldnt use your Rhino file as it was in V7 and I dont have V7 yet.

Thanks lot. I don’t know why I was stuck for it more than 4 days :frowning: I look on YT and this forum and I dind’t found any solutio

But for example whan I add more curves your solution is also doesn’t work

It’s Exactly what I want and I see that it’s all about tree :frowning: . Big thanks :slight_smile:

No , tree used because two sliders plugged to distance input

Sorry for V7. Anyway Big thanks for help :slight_smile:

Ok Wau wau, Now I don’t know why I wasn’t able to do it before … I feel embarrassed
It’s looks like super easy and also you don’t have to condition about curves

I could swear that i tried similar solution but it doesn’t work for me

You must separate the curves as tree and make sure they are sorted, and always use panel to check if everything right

I found my previous mistake and it was about that I didn’t merge I just plug more inputs. And then it didn’t came out to right tree
