Type the offset in the displayed box, and press Enter. Tekla Structures copies the selected shape to the specified direction. For example, if you are copying a line, Tekla Structures makes a new copy of the line in the specified location. If you are copying a circle, Tekla Structures creates a new circle that is centered in the same location as the original circle, and adjusts the radius by the offset that you specified.
When you copy a line that has a bulge, the created line has the same bulge as the original one.
If the rectangle has no bulges, the copied object will still be a rectangle after you use Segments. Note that if the original rectangle has a bulge, it is not possible to draw a new rectangle using Copy with offset. When you use segments, the new copied object will become a polygon.
