Solid Offset horizontal surface doesnt intersect fully with vertical wall

Hi, V5

take the horizontal brown surfaces and solid offset them , they dont intersect fully with the vertical walls they are between.
surely a vert offset against a vert wall should intersect. ?

else what best way to do these two ?

at left before the offset, at right after solid>offset.

The silver walls were not made using solid offset, but to avoid any strangeness later on, I copied hrz 0.25inch the surface then sweep2 the gap between. so absolutely vertical.

still has bitten me in the bum.

Boolean Union Fails as well as a result.

The small gaps are at the curved part of the tapered end. The offset of the curved ends at the tapered end are normal to the surface, and the normals of curve ends are not vertical. Add the taper and the result is the edge of the offset surface is off of the side for the curved part of the tapered end.

Not a Rhino bug but rather how the basic geometry works. Rhino is creating correct geometry.

Hi,
Thanks.
so if I moveface it should then intersect and boolean.
would there have been a beter way to solid it and have intersect ?
Steve

MoveFace and Boolean would work.

Alternative would be extend the original surface, OffsetSrf the extended surface, and then Boolean.
