I'm fairly used to using this type of tool in FormZ and 3D Studio Max. I've also watched a couple of tutorials showing how simple it is. In my experience, however, this tool does not work at all in Vectorworks 2023. Sure, I can select an edge loop, but it does not allow me to extrude it, "push/pull" it (in fact, I can't get the push/pull to work on anything), or even have the supposed new face react with any of the old tools such as extrusion. All it does is draw a red rectangle on my square face. A red rectangle that does nothing but get in the way. In one of the videos, it says there is a sub-option with this tool. I do not have such a sub-option. Can anyone let me know what the trick is to using these tools (offset edge and push/pull)? I'm using VW2023 SP4 on Windows10. I'm sure I'm just doing something wrong in the click, don't click, drag, don't drag sequence. Thanks for any help on this.
