Hi Lars, I just sent you a PM as well - I think the "secret step" in this case will be to not use Shell to create your final surface.

Instead use Offset, but don't attempt to offset the surface - it will not create the kind of edges you want since it will follow the surface normal as I wrote previously.

Instead offset each of the curves that you used to Loft your surface in the first place. Then loft a new one through all of those new offset curves.

This does not create an offset surface - and actually the outside and inside surface will touch each other along the vertical axis line.

But it seems to be pretty close to what you are after:



This seems like a better strategy to pursue.

Hi Michael, thank you for sharing the secret.. This gives me the kind of edges I was looking for.

Added to the Sepecial Thread Gallery (before a cool rendering :)

Have you a 3dm of that?

Hello Frenchy, it's meant to be "rendered" in real life like a sculpture. But if you can do a cool rendering I'd be happy to send you the 3dm.

@renklint
A cool rendering I don't know but surely funny image!!
Don't sent now!
I will recall you in 10 days !

Hi Lars, it is looking great! I hope you will be able to post a photo when it is built.
