- Press Ctrl+click a bounded area on a 3D solid object and move the cursor to establish an offset direction.
Edge highlighting indicates which areas will be offset.
- Enter a value or click in the drawing area to set the offset distance.

Offset Multiple Faces by Pressing or Pulling
You can use PRESSPULL to simultaneously offset planar and non-planar faces and areas on the same or different objects. All items in the selection set must be of the same type as the first (either a face or bounded area).
- Click
.
