You can create a local offset on a surface from a wireframe element that represents the boundary of the offset.

  1. From the Molded Part section of the action bar, click Surface Offset
  2. Select the surface on which you want to create the offset.
  3. Select a profile, that is the wireframe that forms the boundary of the offset.

    Note: Open profiles may lead to unexpected results.

  4. Select the offset direction.

    Not required for planar profiles.

  5. Expand More for further parameters.
    1. Enter the Depth of the offset.
    2. Optional: Enter a Draft Angle.
    3. Specify if fillets are required.
    4. Enter a Fillet value, if relevant.

An Offset Surface feature is created. It contains the parameters of the local offset.
