Question

At ~3:30, you use the inset tool on the top of the cube, and it gives you four trapezoid shapes around the outside. When I try this, it gives me four shapes per side (aka two squares, and two trapeziums per side). Do you have any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong? (Not sure if it's just a blender version difference? I'm on 2.78). Thanks.

Sure, here's two: The cube before I use inset: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7kz9c7dlkwrtnhg/indentissue-before.png?dl=0 And the cube after I use inset: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4kdssqzxfcjn6wv/indentissue-after.png?dl=0 I'm guessing I did something hinkey to the object while playing with it, as if I create a brand new cube and do the inset on it, it works as expected.

Worth mentioning, we end up with n-gons after the subdivision, instead of quads
