Join & Offset

This tool streamlines the process of creating a closed rectangular boundary from　selected lines, joining them, and then offsetting the result.

Join & Offset

Instead of manually joining lines into a polyline and then using the offset command, this tool does it in one sequence.

Ideal for Rectangles

Particularly useful for creating offset boundaries around rectangular shapes defined by individual lines.

Input

Requires two points to define the rectangle (or area), the offset distance,　selecting the objects, and the offset direction.

The lines are joined into a closed shape and offset by the specified distance.
