Offset select edges

When offsetting edges you can either offset one of all, I can't find a way to offset a few edges from a selection. There's no way to actually select an edge. I am attempting this in the Profile Manager:

Such a simple operation should be obvious to perform. I am new to Archicad (coming from poly modeling applications mostly) and I am shocked at how difficult and non-intuitive it is to perform basic geometric operations. 😬

Hi @xissburg

Just click on the edge and pet palette should pop up for you to choose the offset edge tool.

Anyway, you can check if pet palette is hidden somewhere. Also take a look at dialog boxes and palettes setting from Work Environment. Maybe Follow Cursor option for your Pet Palette movement could get the job done.

Regards.

That is correct.

If you left click on an edge, the pet palette will appear and you will have the choice of expanding all edges or just the one you have clicked on.

There is no way to select two or three edges and offset just those all at the same time.
