Hey there,
after upgrading to Rhino 8 i miss a command, not in the tool bars, but in the command line. Missing command is “Parallelkurve”. Any ideas?
Hey Christian -
What are you upgrading from?
Can you post a screenshot of the toolbar that has this command?

Try “Versatz”…
This is an issue I have always had with the German translation - specifically the button tooltip - of Offset… @Joachim_Kuntz
Command line: Versatz (literally offset)
Underscore English version:
Menus:
Button tooltip:
Why???
We’ll qiute easy, thanks for!
Good question indeed: why is it still there??? I truly believed I had eliminated all occurences of Parallelkurve(n). And here we are again.
Thanks for pointing it out, I’ll dig into it as soon as I can.
When we are at that…
…what about Parallelfläche?
The next menu item is …versatz.
Versatzfläche?
Vielleicht Flächenversatz, wie bei Variabler Flächenversatz?
Yep.
Fixed. From the next build on it should be:
- Parallelkurve => Versatzkurve
- Parallelfläche => Versatzfläche
There might still be traces in the documentation, e.g. the user’s guide. I’ll clean them out as well, when I get the chance.
Autodesk and PTC also use the term ‚Versatzfläche‘
Good to know.
In the 90s of the last century I used a German CAD (PC-Draft).
Then I had to fiddle with AutoCAD, and I couldn’t find the function for parallel curves.
I had to ask someone… the answer was, of course, Offset.
In non-CAD usage “Versatz” is a different position of an element.
If you apply a "Versatz" to a car you don’t get a bigger or smaller car.
I very understand the OP’s question.
