Hopefully someone can help me with my latest problem/misunderstanding with R9? In R8 I could switch to edge mode, extrude a selected edge and by pressing the CTRL key I could do something like:

(technical term escapes me atm)

However, doing the same in R9 *only* changes the edge angle. Can someone point me to where I need to be to accomplish the picture (the technique, not the picture per se)? I have read and reread the Extrude section of the R9 manual, but did not find the answer to my particular question, only how to extrude an edge. period.

TIA everyone!

Just posted this in another thread, but:

R9: bevel tool, set extrusion and inner offset to same value, set subdivision to one, set type to User, apply.

PITA, but it works.

Adam;

Thanks for that. I'll have to give it a go when I get home this evening. Does sound very PITA, and most unintuitive - but if it works, it works right!? LOL

Thanks again, and I'll let you know how I fare with it :D
