Offset (Angle, Distance, Position)
There are three Offset modifiers used to create variances between values. Depending on the
modifier, these values relate to controls, paths, and points. The three types of Offset modifiers
available in Fusion are:
–
Offset Angle
–
Offset Distance
–
Offset Position
Offset Angle
The Offset Angle modifier outputs a value between 0 and 360 that is based on the angle
between two positional controls. The Position and Offset parameters may be static, connected
to other positional parameters, or connected to paths of their own. All offsets use the same set
of controls, which behave differently depending on the offset type used. These controls are
described below.
Offset Distance
The Offset Distance modifier outputs a value that is based on the distance between two
positional controls. This modifier is capable of outputting a value based on a mathematical
expression applied to a position.
Offset Position
The Offset Position modifier generates a position (X and Y coordinates) that is based on the
relationship between positional controls. This modifier is the equivalent of a calculation control
except that it outputs X and Y coordinates instead of a value.
It can be applied by right-clicking a control and selecting Modify With > Offset.
Inspector
Oset Tab
The Inspector for all three Offset modifiers is identical. The Offset tab includes Position and
Offset values as well as a Mode menu for selecting the mathematical operation performed by
the offset control.
