    Hi @dethharmoniker, I’m really happy to hear you’re enjoying the tutorial! “Helper edges” (or as I call them “holding edges”) aren’t really the same thing as the inset tool. That’s kind of like comparing a sharp wood edge to the chisel that helped create the sharp edge.

    The inset tool can be used to generate helper edges, particularly for round shapes.
