Request: Offset & paint or Offset and push scripts

[aclark]

All,

I do not know how to create ruby scripts but I'm willing to try to help automate a task. Or, if you know any tools to help do this quickly, your help is appreciated.

I'm in dire need of creating MANY instances in a model that would quickly generate the following actions:

1-Open Component
2-Select outside face
3-Offset distance
4-Paint offset face certain material or push offset face certain distance
5-Close Component
5-Paint Component certain material
