Description

Creates a new string/perimeter outside the selected string/perimeter, in the plane of the current view plane or section, by expanding the selected string/perimeter by the specified distance.

Preselecting data obviates the need to click on multiple items when running this command.

How to Use

Select the required string or perimeter.
Run the command.
In the Offset String dialog, specify the expansion distance, click OK.

The specified offset will be applied perpendicular to each segment of the string.
If a rosettes file is currently loaded and use-rosettes-switch is toggled ON, the expansion distance will be derived from the berm width value(s) in the ROSBWID field of the rosette file.
If a suitable block model is loaded and the use-modelfile-switch is toggled ON, the expansion distance will be derived from the berm width value(s) in the BERMWDTH field of the block model file.
