I absolutely understand yer concerns, definitely need to get the basics under your belt first, i agree. Perhaps i posted in the incorrect form as i am not a total beginner. Thanks guys, i am sure that i will be in further touch with ye in the future. cheers

That tool is dam fantastic. It may prove invaluable as i do allot of work with DTMs and contours and the like, drawing on non planar surfaces is a god sent. Thanks or putting me onto this plugin. This seems to be a dam fine community, i am a sketch up newbe (3 months)..

Ok very good, quick reply, i think you have solved it for me, but just because mitcorb said so, i will upload a skp so you can see why i am asking the question. The back story is that it is a bunker for a golf model (i am exporting it to unity), i had a 3d outline of the bunker which i used the soap skin plugin to make the base and then i wanted to include a lip around the bunker so i wanted to offset the outline of the bunker. So i have managed to do it but it would have been so much easier to use the offset tool to make the lip (in green). Thanks guys

bunker for golf course

Hey, i love the offset tool, so handy for different reasons, but recently i wanted to offset a set of edges which were non coplanar, no go. The closest thing i could do was copy, past in place and then scale, but it doesn't quite behave in the way i want. Anybody any ideas?

Hey i just found this thread in my search for an easy and effective way of generating a gray-scale height-map from a Google sketch up terrain, for importing into a sandbox editor such as unity or the cryengine. I was enjoying the thread so far but it seems to have gone dead, has it moved else where.?
Al Hart will you be making your plugin available.?
