I’m getting below warning when trying to offset a curve.

```auto
Curve.Offset operation failed. 
Curve join produced more than one WIRE in PolyCurve

Hello …you feed in a polycurve the node ask for curves…probably something here would help…

Tried this node too but the same warning. I also tried to recreate this simple-shaped curve by connecting some points along the curve but it also failed with the same warning.

Yes. It’s not. Any workaround? I want to offset it both sides with respect to z axis/plane.

You could use Geometry.Translate - not the same as offset, but might be what you’re looking for
