- [Instructor] Offset curve in face allows you to select
a curve, select a face or a plane, in this case
I'll pick this plane, and offset it a given distance
on that face or plane.
Now, I'm going to pick this curve and offset it on this face.
As you can see, the system is able to extrapolate
that surface and offset that curve off of that surface.
I'm going to go ahead and reverse that.
And some of the other options that we have within
the offset curve in face is the ability to extend
or trim the curve based off of the face's extent.
So in this case, the curve is being extended out
to the boundaries as it traverses along that face.
It knows where those boundaries are at.
So it extends that curve out to those extents.
Other things that you can do with this is in this case
it's set to constant so it's a constant distance.
I can go variable.
And law type, we'll use linear.
And with this I can at these points, the actual end points
of the curve, not the extents of the curve, I can adjust
those values to get the shape that I want
in a linear fashion.
If I need something with a little curvature to it
I can go into a cubic shape.
So this is a really good tool to help you locate tangencies
on your primary surfaces.
