Applying offset on STL

[[Ma...]]

Good morning,

I have to apply a -0.065 offset on a STL, exept some parts of it. Is it possible?

Operations -> CAD -> add offset
Operations -> Mesh -> Special -> add offset

I am not sure if that works for selected area, but you can remove selected area. Then only modifications to fill gap.

Thank you, but I don't find under Operation --> Mesh --> Special. I use Zeiss Inspect 2026.

Your screenshot shows the correct menu item.

Hi , that´s right , i using the same option.

With offset is not possible to apply it only on some parts of an stl. This was my question.

Then i would select area on mesh and press CTRL+DELETE to remove selected area - make a copy to clipboard and you can offset only one of meshes - then combine them.

I am not certain if you can select area on both meshes, but remove one selection on 1st and inverted selection on 2nd mesh

It would help a bit if we knew what the mesh looks like and what area shall be offset and which one not. Cutting and recombining seems like a possible solution, but I wonder what will happen along the parting line. -0.065 is not a big offset, but despite that the meshes will not fit together properly at the parting line. Will that be a problem?
