Use this dialog to generate parallels and/or volumes along a line or polygon. This function is used, for example, to create surfaces for fences and boxes for buildings.
Usage Examples¶
Parallel Lines¶
Object: line
- Number of parallels: 1
- Distance left: 1
- Distance right: 1
Example of parallel lines
Vertical Surface¶
Object: line
- Volume height: 1
- Volume type: Sides
Example of vertical surface
Box¶
Object: polygon
- Volume height: -10
- Volume type: Sides, top, and bottom
This generates a box as shown below.
Example of box
Combined Example¶
You can combine parallel lines and volumes.
Object: polygon
- Number of parallels: 1
- Distance left: 1
- Distance right: 0
- Volume height: 3
- Volume type: Sides, top, and bottom
