Expose the Offset method within the SketchUp core #784

Open Whaat opened 2 years ago

Whaat commented 2 years ago

The API exposes push/pull, follow me, and other geometry manipulation features of SketchUp.

For parity and other use-cases, I would like an 'offset' method exposed that would allow the functionality of the offset tool to be duplicated by a Ruby tool. Creating basic offset logic is not too difficult but making it robust enough to handle self-intersection and edge-cases is where things become overwhelming.

There a plenty of use-cases for this feature but the one I am working on right now is a roof tool where the user can select a face and then the tool will automatically offset the face to form the roof 'overhang' prior to generating the sloping portion of the roof.

Reminder that we can also offset at least 2 edges as they give the offsetting plane.

For the Live C API, would this be (or also be) part of the SUGeometryInput interface and added to the model via SUEntitiesFill() ?
