Blender is Blender we always find workarounds 
.
I first run limited dissolve to get rid of unnecessary vertices.
The video shows you donât have to go corner to corner to clean up.
I know itâs not the perfect shape but just to illustrate the workflow.

Blender way is fine for occasional use. but it would be nice getting auto clean feature. So far, animation node can detect intersection of edges, also blender have âremove doubleâ feature. combining these features programmers can make sweet pie. it would be easy for this addon makers with Jacques Lucke tips.

Would it be possible at all to have the Face Inset Fillet work across multiple faces? I donât know how it would determine the âcornersâ to ultimately fillet but if it was at all possible that would be awesome. Even as it is, great work on these!
It does work on multiple faces already.
Sorry, I explained that poorly. Youâre right that it does but it insets them individually with no option (that I could find) to keep the faces together while it insets.
Hereâs an image to explain what I mean (since my wording sucked, lol)
On the right is how it currently handles multiple faces. On the left is my suggestion.

I see what you mean, I donât have an answer for that.
For anyone interested it can be done with a few steps.
Double inset , select edges and bevel and delete edge loop.
As a last step need to remove doubles.

Really thanks for this hard work and those really useful addons guys!
Great! Thank you for this! I was wondering⌠can you also edit mesh_offset_edges to appear in the specials menu? I, like you, also hate having the panel open.
Yes, itâs been a while, but I believe this is what I changed:
def register():
for cls in classes:
bpy.utils.register_class(cls)
bpy.types.VIEW3D_MT_edit_mesh_specials.prepend(draw_item)
def unregister():
for cls in reversed(classes):
bpy.utils.unregister_class(cls)
bpy.types.VIEW3D_MT_edit_mesh_specials.remove(draw_item)
Itâs at the very bottom, lines 772 through 785.

No problem. Iâve done this with lots of addons, however sometimes it doesnât work, and I donât know what to do at that point. You can also âappendâ the add-on so it shows up at the bottom of the menu if that suits your needs better.
bpy.types.VIEW3D_MT_edit_mesh_specials.append(draw_item)
Not to derail the conversation here but this right here is what I love about this community. Iâm still new to it but the number of times Iâve seen people just be nice and helpful has blown me away. Itâs awesome.
Thank you, I try my best. I havenât been part of the community for that long, but when I come across something I know about, I share as much as I can.
Hi and thx, Itâs Really cool
I have an issue with âmesh offset edgesâ when i try to change profile width blender crashâŚ
Work well with other mode, only profile curve had an issue.
I second that! It is quite an amazing crowd!

Loving the new update!
Has anyone else experienced this oddity with the Offset Edges menu? If I change the type of offset to Depth and then try to change it back the menu just opens and closes itself.

First of all: Thanks for this excellent Add-on with very powerful features.
I am also experiencing the annoying âOffset Edges Panelâ behavior.
