Extrude Individual and then Scale Locally?

Technical Support Modeling
1

Okay, so let’s say I have a cube. I can select 1 face, E to extrude, Right Click to escape, S to scale, and I get a nice Inset with a clean flat side of the cube still.

But what if I want to select every face of the cube, choose Extrude Individual from the toolbox, and then try to scale them all…: they shrink inward. That’s not what I want. I want something like “Scale Individual”. Does that exist?

Thanks.

  • be in Face selection mode first (important, as what follow can have different result if in Edge or Vertice selection mode)

  • select the faces you need to extrude, then press ALT + E then select “Individual faces” in the popup.

  • press enter or escape or right click to escape the extrusion

  • set the pivot point to “Individual origin”

  • press S and it will scale as you need.
