How can i make a new body, by offsetting a face? Same question for “extrude” function. it is important for me to apply different materials to different bodies. Also, it can help me export the selected bodies only.
New body with extrude is an option when you create it (little icon gives you a menu) or in the history, you get a menu of options. You will only have valid options. (You can only have new body on the first extrude). In history, you can change which type after you have done the extrude.
Offsetting a face does not have option to create new body. You will need to do some Boolean work. Create a duplicate body (right now, the best way is by copy and rotate 360°), do your offset face and subtract.

thanks. i want to build a new body which has 3mm thickness , offsetted from the blue highlighted face. this is the rubber overmold part of a hard plastic part.
Perhaps this will help.
