Making loop in inside corners (SOLVED)

Post by techogre » Thu May 05, 2022 2:06 pm

OS: Windows 10
Version: 3.27.3.0 (3.27.3)

I am working on designs with finger joints for laser cutting. To get a good inner corner to get a good fit, I need to add a loop to the inner corners. Is there a way to select a corner (like with the chamfer or round tools) and adding a loop? Here is an exaggerated example of what I mean:

The Modify > Chamfer tool with negative values for Length 1 / Length 2 (e.g. -2 / -2) should work.
