Thanks. Not sure I'm following your question though. A 3d sketch? Are you by chance looking to project lines/edges from a 3d object onto a sketch then apply an offset?
9Issue I keep running into is offsetting a curve on 3D surfaces (imagine a 10mm offset on a 45 projected down is only 7.5mm) Im looking to maintain that 10mm offset through the surface.
yes you should be able to. Assuming you do the offset, extrude one shape then select another offset and extrude - you'd then select "New Body" instead of Join on the extrude menu.
hmm. Give me an idea of what you're trying to do. a face or group of faces in a mesh? The whole thing? The offset tool in fusion is specific to sketch lines, but it sounds like you have a mesh you've imported. An stl maybe, and you need to scale it? If I had a solid sphere imported as a mesh and needed to make it hollow with a 10mm shell I'd make a copy of it. Then scale the copy larger. The use the combine tool & cut to remove the original sphere from the larger copy.
@@fischer3d Hi Fischer. 1. I have a Height Map Mesh. 2. I would like to create a 5mm Offset of that Mesh, so as to build a loose fitting mold around that Mesh Object. 3. There should be a gap of 5mm between the Mesh and the Mold at all points. Rules: The Mold should be Flush/Square & Unaffected at all faces and points not intersected by the 5mm Offset of the Mesh. Apparently you can Offset a Sketch, as you'd indicated. But you cannot directly offset a Mesh? (That seems odd.)
Another great tut man keep them comin!! 👍👍👌👌😎
new update with added more power to Offsets! No more error while creating offsets of offset!
good video. wondering if there is way to offset 3d sketch?

Sorry to be so late to the party man. Quick question, once you offset can you separate the offset and make two different bodies.
yes you should be able to. Assuming you do the offset, extrude one shape then select another offset and extrude - you'd then select "New Body" instead of Join on the extrude menu.
@fischer3d How can we Offset a Mesh in the outward direction. (Not "Shell")

"Could not offset curves" is the most worthless popup ever.
