Creo Parametric 11 brings further improvements to the Rolling Ball option in Offset, which was first introduced in Creo Parametric 10.0.1.0. This enhancement delivers a significant boost in performance, particularly in feature regeneration workflows, both when the user interface is absent and after an attached/unattached preview is calculated by pressing OK.

The Rolling Ball method also increases the success rate of offset geometry creation, particularly in cases where the Normal to Surface offset method previously failed.
