Inset individual faces
Inset each selected face separately, creating an individual border for every face.
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.
Controls and choices
| Controls | What changes |
|---|---|
| Individual mode | Preserves a separate boundary for each selected face, even when those faces are adjacent. |
| Width | One setting can affect faces of different sizes differently. Choose a width that fits the smallest face. |
| Mode toggle | Press I during the operation to compare the region and individual treatment. |
Try it in your scene
Select two adjacent faces and compare individual insets with a region inset. Undo between the two operations.
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.
