Inset individual faces
Give each selected face its own inset border. The separate borders distinguish this operation from a region inset.
Before you start
Select several faces in mesh edit mode. Use Individual when each face needs its own border, such as repeated panels on a surface.
Use the operation
Give each selected face a separate panel boundary.
- Choose Inset Faces → Individual from the face context menu.
- Adjust the inset width while checking the smallest selected face.
- Keep depth unchanged for flat borders, or hold Control to adjust depth during the operation.
- Confirm with Enter, then inspect each border before continuing with the inner faces.

Check the result
Every selected face should have its own inset, with enough room left inside. If adjacent panels share a single frame, check the mode. If small faces collapse, reduce width or inset them in a separate selection.
