Hi all, apologies if this has been answered before, but I've searched high and low and can't seem to find a solution. Basically, I am trying to extrude/cut (in this case, offset face because it's a curve) evenly along the entire surface of a curved face, but no more. On flat surfaces it's not an issue, I just select the face, sketch out my rectangles, and cut (extrude tool) one of them 1.5mm down and the other 3mm down, to end up like this:
It's not a complex sketch, really just a couple lines. However, I want this kind of offset of the three faces to continue through a curve at the bottom of my model, and this is where I run into issues. I sketched the lines out the correct spacing on a plane I made at a tangent to the curve, then projected that onto the curve, and then split the faces - so far so good. However, when I choose the face and I want to offset it (and only it), it extends way down into another face, and kind of smooths itself out so that there's no edge to it, it just blends into the other face:
Face selected, pre offset
Post offset
This is all being done in the Model workspace. Again, I'm sure there is something I'm overlooking here but at this point I'm unable to figure it out. Any help is much appreciated!
