Hello All,
Recently when i try to offset the surface which i have to the distance of 1.5m. I face multiple issue’s at edge of the surface. Which is totally spoiling my initial surface shape. My goal is to offset surface without affecting initial shape.

Thanks in advance for any help you are kind enough to provide
Hello - first make sure the ends are trued up and planar - I assume that is the goal and currently they are not. The underlying surfaces are a bit messy as well - is the idea to have these four surfaces be planar, at right angles to one another and the openings on the ends planar as well? i.e a box with two open ends and one end skewed? Or is the wonkiness part of what you’re after?

How to achieve this or how to check the the ends is planar
Hello - OK, so you see how yours is messy, right? I’d set file tolerance to .001, make that a clean object, closed at the ends, then Shell, removing the ends in Shell.

Hello Pascal,
Firstly thank you so much for your help. Could please explain me bit detailed. What mistake I actually made before. I understand some what by your pervious replies
Regards,

Hi BVR - I don’t know that you made mistakes other than to model a little sloppily, if the goal was to have a trued up box shape with one angled side. That said, OffsetSrf on the clean version of that is probably not what you’re after -
even though it is ‘correct’.
So another way is to make the thing as a solid
and then use Shell, taking out the front an back:
Is that what you wanted?

Wow. Thank you again for crisp explanation.
