OFFSET SURFACES FROM A SOLID

OFFSET SURFACES FROM A SOLID

OFFSET SURFACES FROM A SOLID

(OP)
I have a solid model in WF2 and I want to select several surfaces to offset to use as a cutter. When I select the surfaces then edit - offset it seem to only select 1 of the original selection. If I copy the surfaces then edit - offset, this works but leaves the original surface which I dont want. Any ideas? (before I do this in I-deas)

RE: OFFSET SURFACES FROM A SOLID

  If you can get a sketch plane that works, you could possbly do a draft offset if you just want to thicken a region.  If you are looking to make a quilt that is offset from a group of surfaces on a solid then you have to do the surf-copy / edit, offset method.  Yes it does leave the original surf-copy, but just put it on a layer and blank it.

I've been wishing for multi-solidsurface selection with the offset for a long time.
