|
||
|
||
Offset a plane by a distance along its normal.
|
||
|
||
For example, if you offset the 'XZ' plane by 10, the new plane will be parallel to the 'XZ' plane and 10 units away from it.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
offsetPlane(std_plane: StandardPlane, offset: number) -> PlaneData
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Examples
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
// Loft a square and a circle on the `XY` plane using offset.
|
||
const squareSketch = startSketchOn('XY')
|
||
|> startProfileAt([-100, 200], %)
|
||
|> line([200, 0], %)
|
||
|> line([0, -200], %)
|
||
|> line([-200, 0], %)
|
||
|> lineTo([profileStartX(%), profileStartY(%)], %)
|
||
|> close(%)
|
||
|
||
const circleSketch = startSketchOn(offsetPlane('XY', 150))
|
||
|> circle([0, 100], 50, %)
|
||
|
||
loft([squareSketch, circleSketch])
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
// Loft a square and a circle on the `XZ` plane using offset.
|
||
const squareSketch = startSketchOn('XZ')
|
||
|> startProfileAt([-100, 200], %)
|
||
|> line([200, 0], %)
|
||
|> line([0, -200], %)
|
||
|> line([-200, 0], %)
|
||
|> lineTo([profileStartX(%), profileStartY(%)], %)
|
||
|> close(%)
|
||
|
||
const circleSketch = startSketchOn(offsetPlane('XZ', 150))
|
||
|> circle([0, 100], 50, %)
|
||
|
||
loft([squareSketch, circleSketch])
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
// Loft a square and a circle on the `YZ` plane using offset.
|
||
const squareSketch = startSketchOn('YZ')
|
||
|> startProfileAt([-100, 200], %)
|
||
|> line([200, 0], %)
|
||
|> line([0, -200], %)
|
||
|> line([-200, 0], %)
|
||
|> lineTo([profileStartX(%), profileStartY(%)], %)
|
||
|> close(%)
|
||
|
||
const circleSketch = startSketchOn(offsetPlane('YZ', 150))
|
||
|> circle([0, 100], 50, %)
|
||
|
||
loft([squareSketch, circleSketch])
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
// Loft a square and a circle on the `-XZ` plane using offset.
|
||
const squareSketch = startSketchOn('-XZ')
|
||
|> startProfileAt([-100, 200], %)
|
||
|> line([200, 0], %)
|
||
|> line([0, -200], %)
|
||
|> line([-200, 0], %)
|
||
|> lineTo([profileStartX(%), profileStartY(%)], %)
|
||
|> close(%)
|
||
|
||
const circleSketch = startSketchOn(offsetPlane('-XZ', -150))
|
||
|> circle([0, 100], 50, %)
|
||
|
||
loft([squareSketch, circleSketch])
|
||
```
