      Hi,

      I'm trying to offset a downward curving line so i can creat a surface, which sort of rules out the TOS toolset.

      Any Ideas?

      Thanks

      Toby


      This is the slope i'm trying to offset

        Something like this ?

        This is how I did it...
        Select the Sloping path and use Didier's Extrude-Line tool to make a vertical 'curtain' that's well below where we are.
        Tidy up the face orientation.
        Select all of the faces and use Joint-PushPull tool to extrude all of the faces in one go along the short length of line you had added.
        Now change the view so you can use right-left fence to select the bottoms of all of the extruded bits, leaving the top behind. You can keep the top-surface or erase it as desired...
        There was a glitch around the middle but moving a vertex or two fixed it...
        I've switch hidden geometry on.Slope.skp
