"Yep - when you right click on the surface geometry component ('Brep wall_windows') select 'Set multiple surfaces' instead of 'set one surface'."

"Hi, I am using Rhino 4 and Grasshopper 0.9.0014. I test your approach with Wires instead of edge and seems to work. This means that works better wires ...thanks for help Ps. Is there any way I can do all wall at the same time or need to do each…"

"HI Michal What version of Grasshopper are you using? I'm on 0.8.0066 and it is working for me with your geometry. I know that for previous versions the offset curve component wasn't working properly."

"David Can you have a look at the Offset curve command in GH 0.8.0007. It appears to be totally up the duff. The component is totally unpredictable. Using the same method (a simple referenced rhino rectangle) some times it offsets in the positive…"

"Yes I am having the same problems. Works fine for a positive offset but doesn't like it when it is negative. Jinge, can you post you VB Script, using curve.offset please."

Offset Inward a Closed Curve

Hi, is there anybody realized there is a bug for the Offset Tool component in the latest version of GH 0.8.0003. I can't input negative value for the offset distance (when input negative value to the Distance input the Offset component turns red), so it's impossible to offset a closed curve inward.I tried to reverse the plane, but still doesn't work, the offset is always outward. It's a bug or my own computer problem?JingeSee More
