I've run into a number of cases whereby I'd like to save myself some time by insetting a concave or otherwise complex NGon and receive an undesirable result. I'm hoping this can be either fixed, or I can be enlightened as to the error of my ways and shown a better method to obtain the same result in the same amount of time. Anyhow, please look at the diagram, where I start with a concave, planar Ngon. If I try to inset it using the Polygon Mode Inset tool, at least one edge always outsets while the rest inset... probably some kind of triangulation snaffu. In the top right of the diagram, I show the results I currently get in Nvil. In the bottom center is a result more akin to what I'd like to see (this I did manually). If there's any way to make this function automatically, that'd be swell. Thanks, J.

Hello.
Looks like a bug.
As a workaround you might try to divide the n-gon before insetting it. Or in order to automate the process - create a Composite Tool with the following tools:
Polygon Shortcut Tools >> Divide NGon
Polygon Shortcut Tools >> Inset

Thanks, I thought I had tried Divide Ngon before, I but I got more success this time, particularly when using the Inset Option "By Polygon Selection". Maybe that is what I missed last time. I appreciate your help - I will put together that Composite Tool.

That is definitely a bug. I'll have look at it.

Fixed.

Sweet. Thanks for the rapid fix!
