|
|
|
Offset a plane by a distance along its normal.
|
|
|
|
```kcl
|
|
offsetPlane(
|
|
@plane: Plane,
|
|
offset: number(Length),
|
|
): Plane
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
### Arguments
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description | Required |
|
|
|----------|------|-------------|----------|
|
|
| `plane` | [`Plane`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-Plane) | The plane (e.g. `XY`) which this new plane is created from. | Yes |
|
|
| `offset` | [`number(Length)`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-number) | Distance from the standard plane this new plane will be created at. | Yes |
|
|
|
|
### Returns
|
|
|
|
[`Plane`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-Plane) - An abstract plane.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Examples
|
|
|
|
```kcl
|
|
// Loft a square and a circle on the `XY` plane using offset.
|
|
squareSketch = startSketchOn(XY)
|
|
|> startProfile(at = [-100, 200])
|
|
|> line(end = [200, 0])
|
|
|> line(end = [0, -200])
|
|
|> line(end = [-200, 0])
|
|
|> line(endAbsolute = [profileStartX(%), profileStartY(%)])
|
|
|> close()
|
|
|
|
circleSketch = startSketchOn(offsetPlane(XY, offset = 150))
|
|
|> circle(center = [0, 100], radius = 50)
|
|
|
|
loft([squareSketch, circleSketch])
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```kcl
|
|
// Loft a square and a circle on the `XZ` plane using offset.
|
|
squareSketch = startSketchOn(XZ)
|
|
|> startProfile(at = [-100, 200])
|
|
|> line(end = [200, 0])
|
|
|> line(end = [0, -200])
|
|
|> line(end = [-200, 0])
|
|
|> line(endAbsolute = [profileStartX(%), profileStartY(%)])
|
|
|> close()
|
|
|
|

|
|
|> circle(center = [0, 100], radius = 50)
|
|
|
|
loft([squareSketch, circleSketch])
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```kcl
|
|
// Loft a square and a circle on the `YZ` plane using offset.
|
|

|
|
|> line(end = [200, 0])

|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```kcl
|
|
// Loft a square and a circle on the `-XZ` plane using offset.
|
|
squareSketch = startSketchOn(-XZ)
|
|
|> startProfile(at = [-100, 200])
|
|
|> line(end = [200, 0])
|
|
|> line(end = [0, -200])
|
|
|> line(end = [-200, 0])
|
|
|> line(endAbsolute = [profileStartX(%), profileStartY(%)])
|
|
|> close()
|
|
|
|
circleSketch = startSketchOn(offsetPlane(-XZ, offset = 150))
|
|
|> circle(center = [0, 100], radius = 50)
|
|
|
|
loft([squareSketch, circleSketch])
|
|
|

```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```kcl
|
|
// A circle on the XY plane
|
|

|
|
|> startProfile(at = [0, 0])
|
|
|> circle(radius = 10, center = [0, 0])
|
|
|
|
// Triangle on the plane 4 units above
|
|
startSketchOn(offsetPlane(XY, offset = 4))
|
|
|> startProfile(at = [0, 0])
