This is a nice script. Thanks for the cool information. Also as far as Shrink/Flatten is concerned I don’t think it’s the same as offsetting.

S/F resizes the polygons in the direction of vertex normals whereas offsetting resizes and moves all vertices towards the median of the selected faces.

Maya allows you to offset polygons while being extruded and otherwise.

A good example would be how Paths are offset in Adobe Illustrator.

Toni, sorry, I already know what’s the problem, but i didn’t put it on.
If you do just like in the example exposed by Allan, it works. We had the problem because we didn’t solidify just a groupe of “vertical” isolated faces but a group of vertical faces belonging to a bigger group including “horizontal” faces also.
If you add a floor to the example probably you’ll find the difficulties we had reported previously.
I hope this will help.

I’m having the same problem than LuisM. Any ideas?

Thanks.

For me it doesn’t work in the proper way, like in your images is possible to see: in my case the new faces are generated scaled, bigger when thick is positive, smaller when negative.
What’s the problem?
Thanks.
Great blog!

Allan,

I really could have used this a little while ago. This is a great little script. It would be nice if Blender would build these into the program.

Thanks for what you are doing with this website Allan. It helps me a great deal!

You can do this example with the built in “Shrink/Flatten along normals” tool (Alt-S).

Still, I bet I’ll find a handy use for this script somewhere.

Thanks for posting this.
