Offset and split?
-
use extrude edges by offset from tig extrusion tools.. choose the option wich keeps the inner segments et voila.. i use it a lot to do exactly what you say here..

I dont know exactly how you do it? Tried extrude edges by offset but doesnt work with closed edges. Gives me unpredictable and messy result with fairly simple geometry.

you are right! never noticed that.. maybe because i usually do this with open polylines..

There are no options for EEbO?
Edit: Ok, they are there for not closed edges!...

This would make a very useful tool is available, if bundled with TIG's robust offset tool it would be brilliant

Yes and with the Curviloft you can make several spaces
-
Curviloft should be integrated in SketchUp 9.

Hi cuttingedge, hi folks.
See this SU file for ideas if you want to practice with SU's native tools.

Thanks Johnny, Yes its one way to do it. But I think, by far the most practical way ( if no single tool available) is native offset and TIG's split donut. Anyways, I just learnt that split donut work on multiple selections. So I would offset everything and split the surfaces in one shot.

That was new to me too, nice!
