Example: Offset Geometry with Attachment Options
The following figures are examples of offset geometry after selecting different attachment options.
Offsetting a surface with the Attach offset geometry attachment option (default) selected. In this case, when the original geometry is offset, the adjacent surfaces remain in place. Side surfaces are created to connect the offset geometry to the original geometry.

4. Offset surface
5. Side surfaces
Offsetting geometry without selecting attachment options or tangent surfaces. In this case, only the selected surface is offset.

2. Offset surface
Offsetting a surface with the Extend and intersect attachment option. In this case, when the selected surface is offset, it extends and intersects the original surface. You can only extend the surface until the edges converge.
