offset distance

Where is the checkbox "offset distance"? The way I achieved the effect is very inconvenient.

It looks like this might be an old document that hasn't been updated to the newer FS version.
Although it does seem like using the "up to face" with offset on direction 2 would work pretty well in this case (instead of two "blind" extrusions)

Click on the tiny pulldown arrow right hand close to "Blind" and it should appear.

Yes, that explains the absence of offset distance. The document was originally created in August 2022. Is there a way to update to all the latest features?

No, that only brings up the list 'Blind' comes from.

If you select "Up to face" or "Up to next" from that list, an additional option will appear that allows to enter an offset from said reference face or body.
