    Is there a double offset tool or is there a keyboard combo to using the existing offset tool that gives you a double offset? If not it might be a good ruby...

      Seem to think that Didier Bur made one ? Look in his plugins list or on his site...

        Thanks TIG,

        I downloaded that recently but not quite what I want. Thanks though.

          How about describing what you want in more detail?

          I know that like some of the other sketchup tools the offset tool will repeat the last operation with the last input value on a double click. You can happily duplicate as many offsets as you like. Is this what you mean?

              why is it so much effort to offset in one direction then the other? πŸ˜•
              set me straight.

                Well Rocky, it's not bad on small models and the odd line. Depending tho on what you are trying to model, it could be very useful. Some Rubies are written and perform functions that would be impossible with out. Some are are strictly time savers. Time is money...

                Thanks,

                  I think the question goes more in the line of... what do you want it for? If it's for building walls, profile builder seems the logical choice.

                    I don't have a specific use for it yet but it's one of those things that when you have it, you use it and wonder how you ever got along without it. There are many rubies like that. Some rubies work well with others too, this could be another. Options are good.

                      i don't know if any ones going to go to the trouble for something you may need down the road possibly... if you think of a use... someday... maybe... πŸ˜†

                      but i was wrong once before.
                      come to think of it, i'm mistaken. πŸ˜†

                        I have actually asked about this same ruby myself a while back. So, if someone is of a mind to do it. . .

                        Thanks in advance.

                            I've seen this tool in modelers such as Hexagon actually. used for adding loops to models for subdivision / making details..

                                if it could go onto different planes, i have a use for it..

                                i usually do this with offset for one direction and copy/move the other but a one-shot deal would be nice.. might get weird once more complex shapes are introduced (like a cylinder for instance)

                                      Not mockery Rocky.... I just think it's funny. And I'm not making fun of anyone either. I get a kick out of some of the conversations on hear. Usually makes my day. We all need to laugh more.
