std::offsetPlane

Offset a plane by a distance along its normal.

For example, if you offset the XZ plane by 10, the new plane will be parallel to the XZ plane and 10 units away from it.

offsetPlane(
  @plane: Plane,
  offset: number(Length),
): Plane

Arguments

Name	Type	Description	Required
`plane`	`Plane`	The plane (e.g. `XY`) which this new plane is created from.	Yes
`offset`	`number(Length)`	Distance from the standard plane this new plane will be created at.	Yes

Returns

Plane

Examples

// Loft a square and a circle on the `XY` plane using offset.
squareSketch = startSketchOn(XY)
    |> startProfileAt([-100, 200], %)
    |> line(end = [200, 0])
    |> line(end = [0, -200])
    |> line(end = [-200, 0])
    |> line(endAbsolute = [profileStartX(%), profileStartY(%)])
    |> close()

circleSketch = startSketchOn(offsetPlane(XY, offset = 150))
    |> circle( center = [0, 100], radius = 50 )
