    I try to insert as the teacher but it does it badly. I tested all kind of things and I didnt find out why. Check the video. https://youtu.be/GL8UtdYqg90

      Hi maxcady the YT video is not ideal to troubleshoot issues like this (a few screen shots can be more helpful, or even a link to your .blend file), but This looks like you have inconsistent Normals.

      Select all (A) in Edit Mode (before Insetting) and then SHIFT+N.

      thx. how to find the link to the blend file?

    • spikeyxxx replied

      maxcady you need to upload your .blend to Dropbox, googleDrive or so and then paste a link here.

      Hi maxcady ,

      This is a classical problem you have here: uneven Scale:

      With the Handle in Object Mode, CTRL+A > Apply > Scale.

      The side of the Handle is also very wobbly, if that is intentional, than that's fine, otherwise, select the side and then S, Y, 0 to flatten it.

      You might also want to switch the Pivot Point back to Median Point (is on Individual Origins at the moment).

      Thx. The model is not finished yet. So it's not yet flatten. I will remember now to always apply the scale in object mode. How do you know it's not median?

      How do I know it's not Median? You can see (and set) that here:

      Well I know that but I can't see when it's median or not. I don't know what it means either since I just use Individual or 3D cursor for now.

      Glad that worked! Here's more info about pivot points, including median: https://cgcookie.com/lessons/pivot-points
