Rough offset

This section enables you to define the offset from the geometry that will remain after the roughing stage of the operation.

Distance

This option enables you to define the constant offset distance from the geometry.

ZX

This option enables you to define different offsets from the geometry in the X- and Z-axis directions.

The delta-X and delta-Z offsets from the geometry have to be defined. These two deltas define the vector that determines the direction of the offset.

The Distance X parameter defines the offset in the X-axis direction.

The Distance Z parameter defines the offset in the Z-axis direction.

ZX-ABS

This option is similar to the ZX option except that the program chooses the sign of the delta-X and delta-Z  vector components in such way that the offset geometry does not intersect with the profile geometry.
