    Why was the inset tool not used?

    Is there a particular reason why the inset tool wasn't used for created the inset face  instead of Alt S?  Or is it not appropriate in this instance?

      My memory is fuzzy, but this course was recorded with Blender 2.70 and A) either inset wasn't included yet or B) I was so used to the non-inset way that it was out of habit. But inset is 100% valid in this situation 👌

      Thanks for the quick reply Kent. Nice to know I have learnt something in previous lesssons.

      I am finally getting the courage to finish some courses on my bucket list. I was using inset on this course once I saw Kent doing the helper faces and deleting multiple times I figured out he was just wanting to inset secretly Haha.
