Basically the title says it all, i am creating a 4 points adaptive family where i want the surface to offset from those points in the Z axis and also most importantly outside the border of those points in the Y or X axis, here is a picture explaining exactly the offset.

Z axis offset is easily done and internal offset is easily done, but i want the offset outside the border of those 4 points.

The process is pretty much the same as I said earlier, but you create a line-through-points (to re-orient the ref plane) before adding the next point.

So the host is now the ref line plane, if I understood correctly?

No.  The host is still on the ref point.  Just the ref points planes are reoriented after you creating the spline from them.
