    <description>&lt;P&gt;This composite part mold was designed with zero offset between the mating surfaces of the components. How can I offset the mating surfaces .002-.004" for fitment and maintain the surface geometry?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="chohmanQ74YB_0-1765469537301.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1604185i84E10F9FE7D31214/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="chohmanQ74YB_0-1765469537301.png" alt="chohmanQ74YB_0-1765469537301.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="chohmanQ74YB_1-1765469623667.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1604187i016C1527336BEE17/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="chohmanQ74YB_1-1765469623667.png" alt="chohmanQ74YB_1-1765469623667.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have tried offset faces, but not all of the mating surfaces between the different parts was able to be successfully generated.

      <description>&lt;P&gt;If you remove all or most of the fillet and chamfers, offsetting works fine.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
