Hi albehany, yes those are the areas that I mentioned above that are not smooth on the original model. Surfaces that are not smooth to each other will have gaps between them when they are offset.

So to complete your model you should not offset those surfaces that are blending between different fillet radii, instead build a Network surface from the 4 surrounding offset surfaces.

Or some other things you could try are filling in the gaps you show using Construct > Blend, or trying to apply a fillet to those edges on the base model so it's smooth there so the offsets will naturally meet each other.

It may be better to wait to apply fillets until after constructing the offset rather than putting them on before where they need to be offset as well.
