How to use the function makeOffset

[raydeleu]

The following code shows how to use the function makeOffset. Note that by creating an offset outwards, the shape is rounded on all edges with the same radius as the offset distance.

let box = new Sketcher("XY")
            .hLine(100)
            .vLine(60)
            .hLine(-100)
            .close()
            .extrude(30)
let boreHole = makeCylinder(40,40).translate([0,0,-5])
let boxGrown = makeOffset(box,3)
            .cut(box)
            .cut(boreHole)

Thanks!
makeOffset's documentation says the first argument is a "Face", and it does work (sort of) when I pass it a Face, but this version is orders of magnitude more useful :)

Do you think the docs should be updated to mention the Shape as a potential first argument?
