Uneven distances between the edges when extruding I have the following mesh:


When I try to inset it, the distances between the edges are in equal distance:



But when I try to extrude them (by pressing e then s), I get uneven distances between the edges:



How can I extrude the edges evenly/do an inverted inset?
What you're trying to do is a Shrink/Fatten but with a simple series of vertices. I don't think you can do it with simple vertices but you could do it with a trick: Use the faces normals.


Extrude up your mesh.
altE to Extrude Region (Vertex Normals).
Drag to get what you want.
Only keep the shape you want.
