That’s awesome! Where in the beta can I find that option? I must be blind =)

This works well, could this also be added for ‘offset face’ actions?

Hi @Nelis ,  
For that, try the **replace face** action.

Thanks for pointing that out. I do however realize that i could have also used extrude in stead of offset face (apparently just missed it in the menu), which then also provides me the ability to use draft.

It would actually be nice, if during the extrusion, directly one could select which way to extent in stead of changing this hereafter in the histroy tree…
