Offset Problems

Mar 14, 2011

I'm having trouble offsetting curves that roll in 3D. These same curves offset easily when baked and offset manually in rhino. I've read a good deal of the archives related to this problem and am wondering if there is a way to add a vector parameter to the offset component to replace the point pick hint that you give rhino when modeling manually? Or have these problems been resolved and I'm missing something?

    Pieter,

     

    Thanks to you as well. Again, I'll take a look at what you sent shortly.

      These both work very nicely. Andrew your solution gives a nice amount of control over how the curve offsets and easily offsets to either side by evaluating the midpoint of each circle instead of using the endpoints. Thanks!
