Already bought it, great addon!
Its a must for architects and anyone doing precision modeling for construction or engineering, along with another great addon from the same author for creating Bevels and Fillets and Chamfers in bezier curves
Just a suggestion to luxuy: You might want to create a short video that demonstrates the product.
I get the gist of this product, but it's not the clearest concept explained with just words and images. It took me a while to grasp exactly what it does.
I can imagine here are others who might would find this product interesting, if they had a better idea exactly what it is.
CAD/design guys will know this feature better based on other software, but "offsetting" is a bit ambiguous to the average Blender user.
Curious, as few days ago someone asked about this addon's functionality and a usecase xample on the market page.
As an architect it is pretty clear the use for this, but for someone from other background it might not be so clear. Perhaps you should tell that to Luxuy on his addon's comments section, not sure he will see it here.
