Offset Path
Offsets nested geometry paths inward (inset) or outward (outset) by a distance. Creates parallel paths for double-wall vases, thickened outlines, or concentric shell patterns.

Parameters
distance (mm)- Offset distance. Positive = outset (expand), negative = inset (shrink).
join- Corner style: miter (sharp) or round (smooth arcs at convex corners).
keep original- When checked, emits both the original path and the offset copy (double-wall).
How it works
Offset Path collects all geometry produced by its child blocks, then generates a parallel path at the specified distance. With keep original checked, you get both the original outline and the offset copy — creating double-wall structures in a single block. Use negative distance for insets (shrinking the shape) and positive for outsets (expanding it). The join type controls how corners are handled: miter produces sharp corners, round inserts arc segments.
