When you define a structure element, an offset value may differ from 0 (the definition axis is positioned as: outer line or inner line). To illustrate the rule of definition of a structure element with an offset, such an element will be defined on the contour shown in the drawing below.
Walls, continuous footings, beams:
- If the offset value is greater than 0 and successive elements are defined clockwise, you obtain elements inside the contour, as shown (definition from point 1, through points 2 and 3, to point 4).
- If the offset value is greater than 0 and successive elements are defined counterclockwise, you obtain elements outside the contour, as shown (definition from point 1, through points 2 and 3, to point 4).
Slabs:
- The offset value is greater than 0
- The offset value is less than 0
