I would like to create a border that falls either entirely inside or outside the perimeter of a polyline. By default, it is centered. How do I change that? Thanks for your help.</T></DIV> Wed, 23 Oct 2013 18:44:02 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Custom-line-type-how-to-set-orientation-origin/m-p/208254#M112838 Anonymous 2013-10-23T18:44:02Z Re: Custom line type - how to set orientation/origin https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Custom-line-type-how-to-set-orientation-origin/m-p/208255#M112839 Offset with a hotspot equal to the height of the line elements, below the desired origin.
