However, fortunately the 'AutoCAD mentality' is starting to diminish here now that so much of what the students are doing is in SketchUp and not Autocad (I really try to push Archicad as the 'Big Brother' to SketchUp). I really wish GS would just activate the Option+ and Option++ functionality to the offset tool. It would be very straight forward, consistent with the other tools and merely eliminate the need to make a copy of the thing you are trying to offset.
On another note, I have not seen among the students that I teach AC and know AutoCAD any problems "missing" with the other AutoCAD tools like fillet, trim and extend but I do have to devote a whole class as to why they don't need to use offset as much as they used to.

It is easier in AC to place an object and then move it into place than trying to place it correctly the first time.
