hello, i want to offset a surface in X and Y direction instead of Z. by default every offset i make is in Z direction. how can i change this ?

Hi @UMUT_ŞEN ,

You can add the unit vectors together to get a simultaneous XY direction.

Thanks!

this is what i tried, but these commands still offset in Z for me

Keep in mind that your offset direction would mean to be your surface’s normal direction.
You’d be better to make sure that actually what you want is “move” instead of “offset”…

As @HS_Kim pointed out the logic would be based on your surface normal.

Here’s an option to offset based on surface normal:

EDIT: If you are having issues please upload your surfaces in question as a .gh file with internalized input geometry. Thanks!

i want to “offset” the selected green surface in such a way in X and Y direciton that it fits on top of selected green points perfectly. Left corner of first rectangle should fit the first point. for a specific reason it cannot be done by move, has to be offset
