Yup, basically each segment is offset - if the segments were exactly tangent with each other, then the offset segments will touch each other exactly and can just be easily joined.

But if the tangents are different between the 2 segments, then the offsets will have either a gap between them, or cross each other.

Gaps are filled in by putting in a kind of extension piece - this is what is controlled by the "Corners" option.

The part that tends to be more difficult is when the pieces cross - then they have to be intersected and the excess part trimmed away. Intersections of things that are small and/or nearly colinear tend to be difficult to calculate.

Hi Michael,

I will keep a check to see if this happens again. I have made a number of similar constructions but have not seen this error again.

I thought I did see somewhere a script for incremental save but cannot find this, does anyone know where that is? (or was I mistaken?)

Regards,
Steve

For this one use IncrementalSave as the command name in the right-side column of the shortcut key.

Also if you would like to have a button on the bottom toolbar for this, there is a UI update here that will do that:

Not being a fan of key strokes, the Button is a joy to use, regularly and often!

Hi Michael,

So thats why I could not find a script, lol

Many thanks,

Steve
