Increase line size for extrusion

[nikyorke]

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a plug in that increase a lines thickness, enabling to extrude?

For example - see attached
I draw a free hand line, I would like to then select the line, and give it a required thickness, and then be able to extrude the line.
Very similar to pipe along path, but with a flat profile.

Hope I'm making sense.........

Thanks

offset and closing the two ends with lines?

Thanks Cotty,

That would work to some extreme, but only offsets one direction.
I kind of need to offset both directions, ie, original line to remain center.

Cheers

Thanks Cotty,

That plugin works great. Ive got to do it twice for both sides, but hey ho, works!

Thank you.
