To construct an Offset Plane, select from the inspection report a previously measured
or constructed plane. Select the plane by left-clicking with the mouse
over the feature name in the inspection report or in the
graphical area. Once the plane is selected, choose [Construct→Construct an
Offset Plane] from the main drop down menus. Should you have more than one item selected
or none selected, a prompt will appear informing you that only 1 item, a plane, should be
selected.

Enter the desired offset amount in the edit control, see figure 1. Accept the
value by selecting <Ok> or the <Enter> key and a new plane will be created
with an offset value you have requested. Note, that the offset value is sign sensitive.
This value becomes an absolute value when a part program is executed.
