Reply To: I’m having a hard time cutting the grooves on the corners. I feel like there’s a more precise way to do it than knife the 4 corners, but struggle with subdivide. Is there a better approach than knife?

    To quickly select the faces of all the corners simultaneously after you’ve subdivided, select the 3 faces around a corner, then:
    Select -> Select Similar -> Face Regions
    This will select all the additional 21 faces of the other corners in one fell swoop.

    Then -to select all the insets of the cube at once, select one of the inset faces, then:
    Select -> Select Similar -> Area

    PS: I’m new to Blender and I’d like to know- is there a shortcut for the “Select” menu? I can see it becoming tedious having to move the mouse and actually clicking the Select menu item at the bottom everytime I need to.
