KeyCreator / Modify / Solid Face / Offset Body
Using the Offset Body local edit function, you are able to offset an entire solid body in a positive direction outward or in the negative direction inward, including its faces. The original solid body can be left unchanged while new duplicate offset bodies are added to the model, or the original body can be modified during the offset to assume a new size.
