Add Offset

Use this option to attach an offset attribute to a face. The attribute will govern that face despite the Offset value specified above. It allows you to control the wall thickness at selected faces independent of the part's typical wall thickness. See VX Note.
 

  1. Select a face.

  2. Specify the offset value. A negative value indicates an internal offset and positive value indicates an exterior offset.
