Has the offset command been removed? ---

to clarify i mean the ability to set specific vertical and horizontal distances within the polyline offset command ---

Hi @photchkiss @drone12 , Thank you for sharing your feedback. Which version of PIX4Dmatic are you using? I’m using 2.11.0 and I can create offset polylines using the procedure described here: [Vectorization tools - PIX4Dmatic ](https://support.pix4d.com/hc/vectorization-pix4dmatic#offset) Please share your step-by-step procedure leading to the problem so I can try to reproduce it. Thank you for your cooperation. ---

I was running 2.10.3. I have a perpetual license. Formerly I could create a polyline, click on it and offset it both horizontally and vertically. A dialog box would come up when doing that. Now that is gone. I cannot upgrade to 2.11.0. The documentation states “With the current licenses, PIX4Dmatic Standard and PIX4Dmatic Analyst, the features available in PIX4Dmatic 2.0 correspond to those of the original standalone products:” but that is not the case. I do not see any Vectorization tool in either Matic nor Survey. How can I do this? Without that feature mapping curb is so cumbersome that I’ll need to look for another software platform and say farewell to Pix. I like Pix and was efficient using it. Hopefully, you can answer my question but it would seem when the section box was introduced the offset functionality was removed. ---

After thinking about It maybe you do not understand what surveyors need to create curb, Curbs are formed and consistent. We need the ability we once had to offset a polyline, the entire polyline, a **specified distance** both horizontally and vertically. Not to drag it using the ALT key some random distance we cannot check without then measuring. Does that make sense? ---

Hi @photchkiss , Thank you for clarifying. Yes, the _offset_ feature is still there and hasn’t been removed, but it seems you can’t add defined offsets as you could before (image below). ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/pix4d/original/2X/b/bd9b352b23c75491eaa205f5e09102362e70caa5.png) Let me check this with my colleagues, and I will come back to you here in this thread. Thank you for understanding. ---

Hi @photchkiss @drone12 , I confirm that the “offset box” removal was **unintentional** and will be re-added in one of our upcoming patches. I apologize for the inconvenience! In the meantime, you can use PIX4Dmatic 2.5.4 to access this feature. You can download this version from here: | [PIX4Dmatic 2.5.4 (Windows)](https://prod-pix4d-lib-public.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/matic/PIX4Dmatic-Setup-2.5.4.exe) | [PIX4Dmatic 2.5.4 (MacOS)](https://prod-pix4d-lib-public.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/matic/PIX4Dmatic-2.5.4.dmg) | | --- | --- | I will keep you posted here when the fix is released. Thank you again for reporting this 🙏 . Daniele ---
