Plare

Offset

Create a parallel copy of a line or wall.

⚠ This tool doesn't draw yet. It exists in the bar, it has a key and it has a card — but the behaviour described below is the designed one, and it arrives in a future version.

Step by step

  1. Choose Offset and click the element.
  2. Drag to the side where the copy should go.
  3. Or type the exact distance and press Enter.

Worth knowing

  • The copy is parallel to the original: angles and curves are preserved.
  • Works on walls, lines and closed polygons.
  • To create a 15 cm thick wall, offset the exterior one 15 cm inwards.
