offset perpendicular to offset

Hi,

Im try to make a zig-zagged surface of a dome (or other random shape). I made contour lines on the surface, and offset them.The problem is that i would like the offset lines perpendicular to the surface offset. now they are just horizontally offset (see screenshot)

Can someone help?

Thank you!!

Milan

Thanks again to Hyungsoo Kim for proving the basic structure for this part. I'm calling it WaterfallDish1 and I'm thinking it should be good for small candies, nuts, or maybe even nuts and bolts.

I modified Hungsoo's geometry a bit and added top and bottom parts to make it 3D printable. I've still got a couple of geometry issues to fix before I make the print, but I hope to have something posted in another day or 2.
