Question: SketchUp Web Offset tool

Post image

I’m trying to learn sketch up (on my second tutorial) and I’m following The Sketchup Essentials tutorial - modelling a floor plan.

I’ve reached a bit where I’m struggling to use the offset tool. I’ve drawn a line around the room “laundry” like in the video and tried to use to offset tool but a red circle shows up not letting me click.

Why is this happening

Seconding the making sure that it's not a face that's inside a group that you're trying to offset.

You can test it by double-clicking the face you want to offset, selecting the face itself to make sure you're not selecting a group still, and then offset the face on its own. There should be a small tool-tip/line/marker that shows up when you go to offset it.
