Multiple Variable Polyline Segment Offset: CP_MVOFFSET – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_MVOFFSET command enables users to offset individual segments of a polyline by different user-specified distances. This functionality is particularly useful in design scenarios such as lot layouts, where each side of a polyline may require unique offset values to meet frontage, clearance, or other design criteria. CADPower -> Build Tools -> Offset -> Multiple Variable polyline segment offset Key features include: The CP_MVOFFSET command is a versatile tool for CAD users who need to create variable offsets for individual polyline segments, offering enhanced flexibility and precision in design workflows. In the example above, the polyline segments (shown with vertex numbering) are offsetted by amounts of 10.0, 25.0, 30.0, 30.0 amd 25.0 respectively. The command sequence is shown below.The Side to Offset is to be specified relative to the first segment of the polyline.

Offset Single Segment from Polyline: CP_SEGOFFSET – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_SEGOFFSET command allows users to offset a single segment of a polyline, providing a quick and targeted method for creating offsets without affecting the entire polyline. This command uses the standard OFFSET operation to achieve the result. CADPower -> Build Tools -> Offset -> Offset single segment from polyline Key features include: The CP_SEGOFFSET command is ideal for CAD users needing granular control over polyline modifications, offering a straightforward way to offset specific segments without altering the overall polyline structure.

Offset 3d Polylines: CP_3DOFFSET – CADPower Command

CADPower Commands / By

Summary The CP_3DOFFSET command enables users to offset 3D polylines both horizontally and vertically, much like offsetting 2D polylines. This functionality is especially valuable in civil engineering and other design scenarios where an offsetted polyline needs to be elevated or lowered by a fixed amount relative to the original.
