Offset

Offset

(OP)
Just a quick question

I usually use offset face when I want to offset a face of a solid

We are designing a die currently and we have some reference designs to work from

I notice that they never use offset face, they always use synchronous modelings" offset region

Is there any benefit to this??

Thanks,

RE: Offset

The main difference between the 2 is: offset region will create new faces as necessary while offset face will not. As a test, create a block and draw a line across one of the faces. Use the line to divide the face; use offset face on one of the new faces - it may or may not error out, but the face won't move. Delete the offset face feature and try again with offset region.

I still use the offset face feature quite a bit, but I can't think of a situation where it would be preferred over offset region...
