How to use edit axes mode in polyline tool?

W by walpa on 25 Feb 2025, edited 2 Mar 2025 #

I'm having trouble with the axis editing mode in the polyline tool.

What I understand:

Offset makes a lateral displacement of the object after applying (I don't know if it's possible to configure this displacement).

Selecting a vertex and changing its position changes the alignment of the object.

I couldn't make any progress with the other options.

Please, can someone explain to me how it works?

Thx

once applied you can go to the box at the bottom and set a different offset value or press F9 to show the last command, is this what you are looking for?

@walpa

here a (clumsy) example of using Custom Extruded Solid geometry and offset to create a custom door:

Thanks @steverugi and @theoryshaw, helped a lot!

Sometimes I forget that pop ups have configuration options. :b

I still had the CAD offset ingrained in me and I was waiting for the creation of a "double"...

I didn't know about CTRL+R to create vertices, great tip. I used this to change the trajectory of an IfcCableSegment, but it still doesn't seem to work.

Any examples about Join/Fillet?

Thx
