…If you've ever created a floor plan in AutoCAD, you've…probably relied pretty heavily on the Offset and Trim commands.…Well, in AutoCAD Architecture we can also rely pretty heavily on the Offset command…and in this movie I'd like to demonstrate some ways that we could do that.…So I'm in a file called Walls Offset.…And this is just a really simple exterior wall layout and what…I'd like to do is start adding some of the interior walls.…We need a space over here in this location…and we need some offices in this area here.…And I'm going to use, some various offset techniques to help me do that.…
So I'm going to start with the standard AutoCAD Offset command.…So I can find that on the Modify panel of the Home tab.…Right here, with the Offset button.…Or if I like, I can just type the letter o and…it will find the Offset command for me at the command line.…Now the first prompt that the Offset command will give me is for the distance.…You know, what distance do I want to offset through?…So I'm going to type in a number here and I'm going to put in 17"2'.…
