Modify edge offset

Module(s): 3D Modeling

Using Modify edge offset, you change two or more edges of a polygonal 3D solid or 3D surface by entering an offset. The edges must lie in the same plane.

To change the edges of a 3D solid or 3D surface by entering an offset value

1. Click Modify Edge Offset (How).
   

   Activate Modify Edge Offset in one of the following ways

   • Menu bar: Create Bonus Tools 3D Modeling

   • Palette: Tools Create area in the following module(s):

   3D Modeling

2. Select the solid or surface whose edges you want to modify.
3. Select at least two edges that are in the same plane.

   Allplan displays the edges in construction line color.

   

   A Solid
   B Four edges selected

4. Right-click to confirm your settings.
5. Define the offset in one of the following ways:
   • Enter the offset at the keyboard.
     A positive value is applied outward; a negative one inward.
   • Enter the offset values in the X, Y and Z directions.
   • Define the offset by clicking a point.

     Allplan draws the resulting solid or surface.

     

     A Positive offset (outward)
     B Negative offset (inward)
