Hi Danny, maybe if just 1 planar face was selected, I could make an additional "Extrude" checkbox option that would show up in that case that would make it go straight like that.

Could be a little confusing because in some cases like boxes the result is the same between offset and extrusion, so there would be no difference when checking that option for cases like that.

But that could be a potential improvement to Inset.

That sounds like a good idea Michael, I see your frame of mind is expanding the current toolset, cool!

Cheers

Hi Michael if you shell sphere you get 2 spheres one inside the other and that is a Groop!!!!!!!!!!! when you select you select the 2 sphere
and you can separate them with the Separate Command!

That's not exactly a group - the 2 spheres in that case actually make up 1 solid that has an internal cavity in it, like a hollow sphere.

The inner sphere in that case is the boundary of the interior void area.

If you do a boolean with a line to cut a sphere like that and then move the pieces you will more easily see that it is a solid with wall thickness.

Hi Michael

Grooping 2 solids to make one solid is that what you saying

Hi lyes,

Yup, but it's more than just a simple group because in this case the inner sphere knows that it is the boundary surface of the interior hollow region.

It's kind of like how you can take surfaces that touch at edges and join them together to make a connected solid - in a certain sense that is a type of grouping mechanism but it's more than just a simple group because there is additional connection information created with edges being joined to one another.

The hollow sphere case is similar to that, it's not just simply 2 surfaces in a group, it's a structural arrangement where there is a solid region that knows that it has the 2 surfaces set up as the boundaries of the region, making a kind of wall-thickness to the solid with a hollow empty area inside of it.
