Safe Inset

Safe Inset is a modeling tool that performs face insets without creating self-intersecting or overlapping geometry. Unlike the default inset operator, it automatically detects and prevents boundary overlaps, maintaining clean topology even when working with complex n-gons. This makes it particularly useful for intricate hard-surface shapes and sci-fi detailing.

The tool is accessed directly through the 3D viewport context menu while in face selection mode. It features an adjustable properties panel with controls for inset size and overlap detection threshold. Additionally, an optional merge toggle allows users to automatically weld newly generated vertices based on a custom distance parameter.
