Offset Tool Error

Lewis_MainaLewis_Maina Member Posts: 12
In sketch mode, when I try to offset surface edges (sketch too)internally tool fails but doesn't fail when I try to offset outwards. What could cause this to happen?

External offset:


Internal Offset:
fails even when I try a smaller offset  value

    The offset tool in the sketcher is very finicky. Sometimes it can be more robust to extrude the outline as a surface, and then offset that with the surface offset tool.
