Create a parallel surface
a specified distance from the original surface.
With SURFOFFSET specify the
offset distance and whether or not the offset surface maintains
associativity with the original surface. You can also specify the
offset distance with a mathematical expression. See Constrain a Design with Formulas and Equations.
Surface Offset Options
When you offset a surface,
you can do the following:
Change the offset direction with the
Flip option
Offset in both directions to create two
new surfaces
Create a solid between the offset surfaces
If you are offsetting more than one surface,
you can specify whether the offset surfaces remain connected.
Enter an expression that will constrain
the distance of the offset surface to the original surface. This
option only appears if associativity is on. See Constrain a Design with Formulas and Equations.
