Inset

Inset

The Inset command inserts edges by offsetting the edges of selected mesh, SubD, or polysurface faces a certain distance inwards.

Input

  • Mesh/SubD faces
  • Surfaces and polysurface faces

To inset selected faces

  1. Select mesh, SubD, or polysurface faces.
  2. Enter a distance or pick two points to define the distance.

Command-line options

Mode (For multiple SubD faces only)

  • Group (left) insets connected SubD faces as a unit.
  • Single (right) insets SubD faces individually.

(Surface-only options below)

ThroughPoint: Pick a point for the inset curve to pass through.

Loose: Loose=On does not refine the inset curves to be in the system tolerance as Loose=Off does. The refinement process could be time consuming so the preview uses Loose=On to speed up.

IgnoreSeams: Ignores the seam of the input surface.

a) Input, b) IgnoreSeams=No, c) IgnoreSeams=Yes

Split: Splits the input surface; otherwise creates the inset curves only.

  • JoinOutputs: When Split=Yes, specifies whether the resulting surfaces will be joined.
