Thats a new one on me! I'm not aware of there being a limit or a setting to enable one. Any chance you can post your drawing and i'll take a look.

Are you sure it wasn't just snapping to something 65mm in height nearby when you were trying to offset the object?

i think this is where you push/pull and it says "offset limited to ..." which is in your case 65mm.
this happens when the geometry constrains the face at some point so that to continue the push/pull further would require a node or edge to be deleted or moved. as skp doesn't know what you would do with this node or edge, it just stops the push/pull there.

that is exactly what it said and what happened, thanks for that designerstuart
