g on the upper right corner or zero-zero.
Adjust the X and Y spacing and number of sections. So that the cutting planes intersect the whole geometry. (like below) (ssav: for your Geometry I set the spacing (both) here to 200, #X=18, #Y=14)
Reference the Brep (ssav: your geometry is not well joined, I just selected all of them and join). The script should calculate.
You can adjust the material thickness (ssav: depends on your unit scale again, I set here to 50)

to open!!! That time goes up as you increase the count, and interesting offset curves (crosscut!) happen when count is in the mid to high twenties.
There is an anomaly to be aware of at the switchback points on the path; best seen in top view, the blue curves are the new, adjusted tool paths. See how they have no discontinuity at that point?
Also, some tool-bit-size areas are not touched by the tool path at this setting (1=100%) of the '%Tool Diameter' slider:
P.S. Coverage is improved considerably with '%Tool Diameter' slider at 0.5 (50%). 26 offsets take 1.6 minutes.

rary points within it and draw a line. If the "shape" is convex the the line will never cross the region boundary.
so a sphere or a cone are convex, a torus isn't.
Thanks for your input Dany, always first on deck to help people in trouble. But I'm not a beginner really! I'm thinking actually I might move this post to the vb forum. It must have been implemented in some open library. I hope...

it will work.
You'll probably want to add /nosplash and /runscript
Since the script you're running will involve RhinoScript calls you may want to create an *.rvb file on your desktop (or some other easily accessible location) that does all the loading. Then invoke this script via the command line arguments.
I'll see if I can get something working.

le and operations on breps are still a bit buggy in GH, so your best bet would be to try to go as far as possible in 2d and only extrude at the end of your definition. This means, first offset the polyline, then join the gaps between the two polylines and finally extrude the closed polyline. A very helpfull offseting (and more) plugin which can automate some of the above steps is Clipper. If you still want the two walls(?) seperated you could use surface split on the closed polyline before extruding.

nal shading profile should be a comma seperate file with a three line header and the format: month, day, hour, shading fraction [0,1] in each line. See sample file:BlindsAlwaysClosed.csv.…
