Offset

See also: Offset shape

Menu access: Shape | Surfacic / boolean operations | Offset

Description:

Allows you to modify a shape by applying offset to different faces of the object.

General philosophy:

  1. Select the shape to offset.

  2. Enter the global offset distance.

  3. Select the  SAME OFFSET FOR ALL FACES  button.

Available option(s):

You can give a different distance for some faces by giving this distance in the cell "Offset for special faces" then selecting these faces.

When the distance is too high and the generated shape can be a self-intersecting shape the compute in exact mode will abort. In this case you can use the  Offset mode= APPROXIMATE  option to obtain a truncated shape (without self-intersection).
