offset shape

RoySsgi — Tue, 13 Jul 2021 15:58:12 GMT

Hello.
Can anyone guide me how to write a plugin that performs offset to shape without having to go down to the spline subobject level. And be nondestructive. Something like offset in autocad
Thanks

if it's using the sdk all the source code for offsetting a spline is in the sample code.

Thanks Klvnk I do not quite understand that you can expand a bit?

the source code for offsetting a spline (as used by the editable spline modifier) is in the 3DS Max SDK code samples.
