 | 3. | Enter the distance and the way you want to create the parallel: To the left, right or both sides. |  
 | 4. | Define the styles of the object(s) that will be created. |  
 | 5. | You can apply several options: 
Close line ends: The ends of the lines of the created parallel are connected to the source object. 
Create Regions: By choosing the option above, you can specify if the objects created will be regions (polygons).
