Curve Offset In 3D Space earns its spot in the superhive library as a focused GPL add-on for Blender 2.7x aimed at offsetting bezier splines directly in 3D space. Its developer, Luxuy Store, is a Blender Development Fund contributor.
Curve Offset In 3D Space is an add-on from Luxuy Store for Blender 2.7x that offsets a selected bezier spline in 3D space. It works in curve edit mode and currently supports the bezier spline type only.
You can offset a curve toward the cursor location, either passing through the cursor point or by setting a specific offset distance. A steps option lets you apply multiple offsets in one operation, and the tool can offset through a 3D point precisely, currently for straight segments only.
Installation places the Python file in the scripts/addons/ directory, after which pressing F8 refreshes Blender and the add-on can be enabled from the add curve category in the user preferences. In curve edit mode, select a spline and use the W-key menu or the Ctrl+R hotkey, then set the distance and steps. It is released under the GPL license and its developer is a Blender Development Fund contributor.
Curve Offset In 3D Space is best for blender 2.7x users editing bezier curves who need to offset splines in 3D space, toward the cursor or by a set distance and steps.
Curve Offset In 3D Space is completely free to download and use.
Curve Offset In 3D Space is built for Blender 2.7x. It operates in curve edit mode and, in its current form, works with the bezier spline type only. Within that scope it lets you offset a selected spline in 3D space, either toward the cursor point or by a distance you set, with a steps value for multiple offsets. For newer Blender releases, check the developer's page before relying on it in a current setup.
Curve Offset In 3D Space installs by placing its Python file into the scripts/addons/ directory. After copying the file, press F8 to refresh Blender, then open the user preferences window and go to the add-ons tab. Under the add curve category, turn on the bezier curve offset tool to enable it. Once active, the add-on becomes available in curve edit mode, where you can call it and set your offset values.
Curve Offset In 3D Space works in curve edit mode. Select a spline by picking any point on it, then open the W-key menu and choose Bezier curve offset, or use the Ctrl+R hotkey. From there you set a value for the distance and for steps, where steps let you apply multiple offsets. You can offset toward the cursor location, passing through the cursor point or by the distance you specify. Offsetting through a 3D point precisely currently applies to straight segments only.
Curve Offset In 3D Space currently supports the bezier spline type only. Within curve edit mode it offsets a selected bezier spline in 3D space, either toward the cursor point or by a distance you set, and a steps value allows multiple offsets in one operation. The option to offset through a 3D point precisely applies to straight segments only at present. If you need other spline types, check the developer's page for the latest scope.
Curve Offset In 3D Space is listed as free here and is released under the GPL license. Because licensing and terms can change over time, check the developer's page for the current details before you download. The add-on comes from Luxuy Store, a Blender Development Fund contributor, and targets Blender 2.7x, offsetting bezier splines in 3D space toward the cursor or by a set distance with a steps option.
