⚠️ Libfredo 15.4b | Minor release with bugfixes and improvements Update
Double Offset
-
Is there a plugin that works like the offset tool but offsets the edge to both directions at once?
-
Perhaps Offset Loops [hidden] in dropdown menu of Quad Face Tools? Use Control key to get the dual offset. I think TT said previously it's still in development and it's not very robust.

Sure!
By Sdmitch : MULTIPLE Offsets has this function inside! And many more!
-
Thanks for the ideas. The Offset loops keep crashing for me and the multiple offset script isn't in "realtime" like the offset tool in SU but I'll look into them.
-
Maybe you can ask Sdmitch to modify its plugin for have repetition of the function at each new selection ?
-
TIG's offset can do it - i modified the code to repeat the steps one positive and one negative values. works well, though there are some odd imprecisions.

let me know if you want the code pasted in too
-
Yes please post the modified code.

hope TIG is ok with it:
