M_Rhino_Geometry_Curve_OffsetNormalToSurface

Curve.OffsetNormalToSurface Method

Finds a curve by offsetting an existing curve normal to a surface. The caller is responsible for ensuring that the curve lies on the input surface.

Namespace: Rhino.Geometry
Assembly: RhinoCommon (in RhinoCommon.dll) Version: 5.1.50000.0 (5.0.20693.0)

Syntax

C#

public Curve OffsetNormalToSurface(
	Surface surface,
	double height
)

VB

Public Function OffsetNormalToSurface ( 
	surface As Surface,
	height As Double
) As Curve

Parameters

 

surface

Type: Rhino.Geometry.Surface
Surface from which normals are calculated.

height

Type: System.Double
offset distance (distance from surface to result curve)

Return Value

Type: Curve
Offset curve at distance height from the surface. The offset curve is interpolated through a small number of points so if the surface is irregular or complicated, the result will not be a very accurate offset.
