Offset geometry

Offset creates a new result from a supported planar sketch profile or a planar face on a solid. It does not offset an entire body.

Offset a sketch profile

Select a supported closed profile, then choose Offset from the tool rail or press O. Enter or adjust the distance and inspect the temporary preview. Press Enter or choose Confirm to create the offset. Press Escape to cancel and return to Select (1); this also clears the preview. An open or unsuitable selection may not produce a result.

Offset a face

Select a planar face on a ready solid, choose Offset (O), then set the distance. Inspect the temporary preview before committing with Enter or Confirm. Press Escape to cancel and return to Select. After a successful commit, the new offset is model geometry and remains visible until you undo or remove its feature; it is no longer a preview. The result depends on the selected face and surrounding geometry.

The legacy Body offset control is hidden in the current public editor. Use Extrude when you want to add depth to a profile, or Transform to move or rotate an existing body.
