Type
The options in the
Type area are:
- Simple
- Creates an offset surface whose points are all
at the same distance from the initial surface.
- Variable
- Lets you set different offset distances at
each corner point of the surface.
Limits
The Limits area defines the constraints to be taken into account when computing the offset surface. It contains the following options:
- Tolerance
- The tolerance to the offset value.
- Order
- The maximum U and V orders in the resultant surface.

In the Display area you can select which information is displayed on the geometry:
- Offset values
- Displays the distance between any point of the initial surface and the
resulting surface.
- Normals
- Displays the direction of the initial surface.
- Order
- Displays the order values in U and V
- Tolerances
- Displays the exact tolerance deviation.
- Corners
- Displays or hides the handles at the four corner points (only
in Simple mode) to make Snap on Geometry
possible.
