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.
