Polyline

Polyline: Offset

Draw walls, roads, and paths faster with automatic offset lines.

Parallel Lines: Drafting Simplified

The new Offset option in the Polyline command enables parallel drafting. Architects and drafters can draw walls, pipes, streets, and other paired-line elements in one step.

Offset While You Draw

Choose Left, Right, or Both, set an Offset distance, and place points as usual. Rhino creates the parallel line in real time, so you do not need to offset or redraw the geometry after the polyline is finished.

Corner Styles Built In

Set corner styles such as Sharp, Round or Smooth, while creating the line. Corners update as segments are added, reducing the cleanup usually needed after offsetting.
