offset volume measurements

(1/1)

kgurra:
im trying to figure out how i can create volume measurements for excavation work. the problem is that drawings dont show the over excavation needed to do foundation work. ideally i want to be able to trace a line and it gets me a 2 foot offset around it with the added calculated volume. any help would be great. thanks

kindlin:
Great question, tho I'm not aware of any OFFSET command such as you would find in any drafting software - that's not what BB is meant for, but I agree it would be nice, I encounter lots of times that I would use that as well.

The only way I know how to do this is manually. Well, unless your foundation is a square, then you can group-scale the square up or down. But if any lines are rectangular, etc., it wouldn't scale it up equally on all sides.
