Offset Face

Status: Implemented

Offset Face feature dialog

Offset Face creates offset sketch geometry from selected faces. The output is sketch-like reference geometry, not a replacement solid.

Inputs

  • faces – one or more face selections to offset.
  • distance – signed offset distance along each face normal.
  • id – optional naming prefix for generated sketch groups.

Behaviour

  • Clones selected face geometry into world space, offsets by face normal, and emits a SKETCH group per face.
  • Generates both an offset face (...:PROFILE) and extracted boundary edges, including loop metadata (boundaryLoopsWorld) for downstream consumers.
  • Persists per-group basis data (sketchBasis) so the generated sketches behave like other planar profile sources.
  • Leaves source solids untouched (removed: []).
