Offset Tab - Surface Patches Dialog

The Offset tab is used to create, select and delete surfaces offset from the basic surface (named OUTER). To create an offset surface first ensure that OUTER is the currently selected surface, as this is the only surface that can be offset. Next, enter a name and the offset distance (positive inboard and negative outboard) in the relative input fields (Name and Distance) and click Offset.

To select or delete a surface

1. Select the surface from the list.

2. Select the relevant button, Select or Delete respectively.

   Important: Surfaces containing PACE planar patches cannot be offset. If a surface is to be offset, then uncheck the Use plane patches checkbox on the General page of the Build Surface dialog in PACE before building the surface.
