This free Blender addon is a game changer for expanding faces on 3D models

An example of Blender addon Outset Boundary in use.

Blender users will be familiar with the free 3D software's Inset tool, which can be used to create a new, smaller face inside a selected face. It's a fundamental feature for adding geometry to a mesh without changing its shape and can be used to create an inner wall for extrusion and beveling.

Now we also have the opposite – “Inset's evil counterpart,” as one user describes it. Blender whizz Kushiro has released the addon Outset Boundary for creating outside edges. And you can download it for free, adding a handy, time-saving functionality to what has become one of the best 3D programs.
