### Command-line options

#### **Offset**

The offset settings determine the width of the inserted quad faces. The width is the proportional amount of the crossing edge length in the [flat SubD](https://docs.mcneel.com/rhino/8/help/en-us/commands/subddisplaytoggle.htm).

* **Small / Medium / Large**

  Slides each vertex along the crossing edge with a proportional amount of 0.125 (small), 0.25 (Medium), or 0.5 (Large).

* **Custom**

  Allows entering any number between 0.05 and 0.95 for the proportional amount.
* **Variable**

  This option is only available when a single edge chain is selected. It allows setting different widths at both ends of the edge chain.
