Creation of an offset curve
The original curve can be a 3D curve, a 2D curve or the edge of a
surface.
If the curve is a 2D curve or a surface edge, the offset curve can
be created on the 2D curve or the surface, and the distance can be
measured on the surface.
Creation of a variable curve offset
After selecting the elements and executing the function you can
insert additional offset values to create a variable curve offset.
A point manipulator appears in the center of the original curve if
the pointer is moved across this position. Using the left mouse
button, this point manipulator can be moved along the curve to the
desired position. A new vector manipulator will then be inserted at
this position. Several offset manipulators can be inserted in this
way.
By switching on the option 'Individual', the vectors can be
manipulated separately.
