Offset button in measurement

Is it possible to create an offset button (function similar in autocad) to be able to place lines at a distance from a point, for example?

For example: When calculating earthworks for a building, we calculate the soil 5m further than the outer perimeter of the building. Now I manually draw lines at 5m distance from each vertex to determine the area.

Or is this already possible?

Thanks!

    Bluebeam doesn't have an offset feature unfortunately.

    However, if you want to draw offset guidelines to measure to, there is a way which works with even the most complicated of shapes.

    This uses custom line styles. Have a look at this to see how it is done https://youtu.be/e7n9FeKfzpw
