how to extrude/inset/etc by individual polygon in streamline tool?

Extrude by default extrudes by polygon selection, how can I get the streamline tool to extrude (and inset/bevel/etc) to extrude by Individual Polygon without using the visual tool?

Press/hold down the space_bar before extruding/Inset.



Just to add for clarity:-

Press hotkey, for example "S" for inset, RMB+drag will inset selection.
Press hotkey "S", press/hold space_bar, RMB+drag will inset individual.

Ooooh. Thanks! Bit hard to find, but it seems to work. Might be a nice thing to toggle while already using the tool, but this works.

For extrude, you can use "Space_bar" to toggle between selection/individual(tap the space_bar). But with "Inset" the space_bar toggle will toggle direction styles.

The extrude tool just switches between extruding along the average normal or individual normals, but not individual polygons. It does when I press space before dragging as you said.

It appears to only work on objects where all polygons are selected. Try a basic box or sphere.

Just checking again.
If you start with extruding individual polygons (with space_bar pressed), release space_bar, but with mouse button still pressed, you can then toggle with space_bar.

Not sure why it works like that.

I would have also expected it to work with (for instance) scaling, which it does not.

I tried the extrude thing by the way; It doesn't. It just toggles between extruding along the average normal or individual normals. The former will just look like it's extruding the polygons joined, but select just one and move it, you'll see they're all seperate.

For scaling polygons (individual/groups of polygons), there is the streamline tool "Misc Sub_object tools"(N), that allows for local scaling/rotation.

Ah, sorry, I missed that.

Ah, a separate streamline tool. Thanks, I'll check it out.

Might get to be a bit unweildy though, right? If every applicable tool needs secondary version which works on individual polygons. I'd expect to see it in the pivot options, although I agree that switching pivots all the time is certainly less pleasant than just pressing space.
