Joint Push Pull by point
-
Hello,
First, thanks fredo6 for making JPP.
Although Joint push pull help me a lot in making model (I used many arc and curved surface), I see that JPP only set offset by face and in my case this is a little hard for me. With curved surface or line, I think measure length between points is more accurate than between faces or edges. The basic circle tool also measure radius by distance between center and an endpoint. With my current knowledge, I don't know how to make my model more accurate with JPP(although, as I explained above, I'm not sure which way is actually more accurate).
So please tell me your opinion about ways of measuring.
If you agree with me could you show me a way/tip/trick to thicken a curved surface (for instance, a sphere, or a egg shape for a little more complexity) to a exact thickness, measure by distances between points.
Hope that my question is clear enough, I don't work or study in designing.
Thank you, -
You can use the VCB to specify the offset (see page 13).

I know this. But this is not what I want to ask.
You can see that after push/pull a curved surface, distance between a point in new created face and its origin in old surface is not equal to offset.
I think that it may be more accurate if we could make offset 'mean' the distance between these point. I not sure and am asking for opinion.
