Use this when you want to shrink or grow a polygon inside or outside its original boundary within a flow, for example generating a setback zone or courtyard area.
Inputs
This node runs in Transform mode by default, so its settings come from the paired Transform node through the T connector. You can't wire a value straight into a single setting. To drive one setting from your flow, override it with a Write Property node between the Transform node and T, or switch this node to Exposed Inputs to get a connector for each setting.

How to:
Add the offset polygon node and offset polygon transform
Click “edit defaults” to set the starting values
Edit the settings and outputs in Properties
Offset Polygon Transform Settings
Input offset distance
use negative distance to shrink
use positive distance to grow
Select corner type - round, square, or mitre
Line-based starting geometry provide a few additional settings:
With Holes: Self-Intersecting lines will either fill when creating enclosed polygon areas or not
Offset side: Offset left, right, or both
Offset Polygon Output
The output is a polygon offset by the distance specified
