Help me please

Hello guys I wanted to ask you a couple of information:

* when I do the offset of an open curve how do I make a closed polyline?
* there is an option to offset a surface so that the result becomes a solid and not two different surface?

Thanks for the help

      Hi Daniel,

       

      Check out this discussion: http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/offset-surface-into-solid

       

      So, a bit difficult to do at the moment, but perhaps there is a different way to approach your problem? - Could you model the shape as a solid, boolean out the centre, fillet the corners etc...? - Or perhaps build all the surfaces of your shape, trim as appropriate and join together to make a closed shape?

       

      There's always more than one way to break an egg!

       

      David.
