<p>As a bodge fix when offset didn't work and scaling about the polygon centre didn't produce a great result I used tween curve between the curve to offset and a circle I created at the centre.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Could a similar method be used where the tweened curve is then pulled back to be a set offset distance from the original curve?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Obviously won't work in every situation but could be a way to go sometimes?</p>

<p>No, for GH1 I recommend using the Clipper plugin, I'm planning on adding the clipper code directly to GH2 so it is accessible natively.</p>

<p>I have added the offset component to the new version of my <a href="http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/bowerbird" target="_blank">Bowerbird</a> plugin. There are also some new components for better boolean operations.</p>
<p>You can download the plugin with examples and the source code from GitHub.</p>

<p>Maybe you can test it and give me some feedback.</p>
