Full Version: Inset multiple faces of an object separately?

From: nameless

I am in an affair with inset these days!

Is there a way to inset multiple connected faces separately instead of like a region? LMB->RMBx2 can be really quick, but I think that insetting all faces at once makes more sense in cases of relatively complex objects.

You have _sSplit by Max Smirnov who insert any number of Faces/ Object selected! ;)

Works for the subdiv but can be used for anything else :) (_sBridge, _sSize )

See my Thread Subdivide in Nurbs :)

ps You have very more speed for select Faces of 2 object above: use Browser / Types Faces / Selection! :)

Hey Pilou! Thank you for the informative answer. I have totally forgotten about sSplit.

sSplit produces non uniform border though! Sometimes you need that constant width along the perimeter.

I will surely experiment with sSplit more.

Hi nameless,

re:

Sorry no, not currently. I can add an option in for that once v5 is underway.

So Mutiple Offset should be possible with Elephant by Max Smirnov! ;)

Thanks Pilou! I will check it out!

@Michael Ah I see. Thank you for the reply!

Well it's no biggie, but a tickbox adding the option would be awesome. And Scale could also have a tickbox for individual bounding box centers (like the ScaleIndividual script does right now). And let curve points snap to other points of the same curve when you move them around :-D On v5 ;)
