Measure the Distance from the last Count, While Counting

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…
