Does not include remeshing of surrounding triangles. Avoid input mistakes or unexpected intersection by checking results before applying changes. |
| Remesh surrounding triangles |
This option is checked by default. Checked: all triangles on neighboring faces are remeshed, to smooth the transition between surface. Deselected: all triangles on neighboring faces are stretched. |
| Falloff |
By default the falloff distance is two times the offset distance. Select By specific distance to specify the dimension of the affected area around the offset. Enter then the Falloff distance to define this area. |
