Description

Offsets a polygon or polyline. Uses Parasolid to do it. Equivalent of Voronoy based OffsetPoly. 

FUNCTION OffsetPolyN(
           h                :HANDLE;
           offsetDistance   :REAL;
           smoothCorners    :BOOLEAN) : HANDLE;
def vs.OffsetPolyN(h, offsetDistance, smoothCorners):
    return HANDLE

Parameters

h HANDLE
offsetDistance REAL
smoothCorners BOOLEAN

Remarks

(Orso, 2011): OffsetPolyN fails:

  • on holes, they are ignored
  • used from inside plug-in objects: deselects the object instance on drawing at each run, compelling the user to re-select (tested from VW 2011 through 2014).

Version

Availability: from Vectorworks 2009
