Please, I need a hand ; I have been struggling so much doing an offset of a mesh

Good evening,

I hope someone will be able to help me out with that issue :

In the first picture you can see what I get using weaverbird and grasshopper. The mesh is good but the design isn't.

The second picture is the result I was expected it to be.Looking at it, you can find what I baked using the frame of "set of meshes" on grasshopper into rhino and after using the mesh offset in Rhino. Problem, the mesh isn't right and it won't go well if I change the distance in the wbFrame component or even the offset distance in Rhino.

How could I use grasshopper in order to get a nice offset of my componet "set of meshes" ? I heard about Isocurve. I think it might be a solution but as english is not my first language it became very hard to understand the way to use it properly.

Once again, I will be very gratefull for your help,

Victor

Hello Mauro

I would like to ask you´ve found the solution to the frame joints? Were you able to create square/retangular profiles with cytoeskeleton. Iám dealing with the same probel of a very irregular frame generated with grasshopper and weaverbird.

I'm not sure I can help you with this one... I think you have to do it the same way as we did the last mesh or you are going to need a very smart way of detecting when offset mesh faces have either overlapped or have gaps that need filling and then somehow fix them.

Can you not just start with lines instead of mesh faces and use the same method as last time?
