CurveOffsetNormalToSurface Method
Rhino for Mac 5.1
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
Copy
public Curve OffsetNormalToSurface(
	Surface surface,
	double height
)

Parameters

surface
Type: Rhino.GeometrySurface
Surface from which normals are calculated.
height
Type: SystemDouble
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.
