Offset 3d nurbs curve

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I want to offset a nurbs curve, but with the "Offset Nurbs" I'm not getting result. Probably because the nurbs curve is 3d, so the tool needs input for an offset direction. Does anybody know how to set the offset direction, so I'm getting result?

I know I can make an offset surface with "Path Extrude", but than I have no idea how to extract an specific outer curve from it.

Hi,

Copy Offset and Scale.

Finally got this to work after studying Luis M Ruiz Example WT-31-How_to_sequence_volumes.

But can’t get rid of the first line but that's for another day.

Sorted it by changing the start scale to 1. I had 0.

I used the get symbol node because it has a 2D origin input where a simple polygon was harder to provide an origin to move by.

He Alan,

Thanks a lot for making this model! Scaling a curve will bring it close to an offset. But unfortunately it isn't a real offset. Still it is interesting! I will try to do something with manipulating all the points on the 3d curve. I guess this should be the start for a real offset.
