Making many offset lines that are always a set distance from the previous

Geographic Information Systems Asked on July 30, 2021

I’ve discovered the Offset lines tool in Vector Geometry, which allows you to make a parallel line next to the input at a specified offset distance. What I would like to do is specify how many subsequent offset lines I want. As of now, you can only create one offset for each feature in the input layer.

I understand you could probably loop this, but is there a more efficient way of doing this? An alternate function? I included an image to illustrate what I’d like to do.

I suggest you have a look at the tool array offset lines. It should do exactly what you need, and using data defined override you may use attributes to specify how many offest lines each existing line should have.
