Can You Offset Sectors In GZDoom Builder with a Tool?

[NiTROACTiVE]

Recently, I've been working on a new special project. However, when it comes to certain sectors, I was wondering if there was a way to offset the linedefs of the sector to make a new sector outside/inside of the old sector.

Attached is an image of what I wish to do with a possible tool, and what I want to do is similar to AutoCAD's offset tool. I'm not sure if there's actually a way to do this plugin or not, and I don't want to draw the lines inside of the sector manually, especially how these sectors are shapes much more complex than just squares.

Using GZDB/GZDBBF/UDB or DBX:

Copy the sector
Edit - Scale

Scale either from the edit sidebar or simply move the white drag handles.

Scaling isn't the same as offsetting though. Offsetting copies each line at a specific distance, scale just shrinks them closer to the center.

Thank you for the enlightenment.

Since there is nothing like the Autocad offsetting in UDB it is copy/edit/scale as the closest to it.

While still in edit mode the sector can be dragged to wherever.
You should give it a try.

Your image on the left just obfuscates the idea.

It has offset capability for complex sectors other than rectangles?

I must give that a whirl

So, I gave it a try and it works like a charm. Thank you boris.

I've just tested it, and yes! You need to check the "Single Steps" box under the appearances section. I would've never thought to look there.
