For this object I need an inner contour parallel to the outer contour. If I use Extrude (E) and Scale (S), and reduce the outer contour, an inner contour is created. However, this does not run parallel to the outer contour. Instead of moving inward, the contour is moving to the outside.



Is there a command that creates a uniform inner contour? In the above example I tried the desired one by hand, that is a) inaccurate and b) very time consuming.

          Use Shrink/fatten Alt+S with Offset Even option instead:



          enter image description here



          And don't forget apply scale in object mode! (Ctrl+A -> Scale)

            There are a few ways to do this.



            You could use Solidify function:



            enter image description here



            Solidify Modifier would work similarly, just from the Object mode:



            enter image description here



            You could extrude the faces(e) and confirm extrude by clicking without moving the mouse for the faces to stay on top of the old ones and then Shrink/Flatten with alt+s as well. If you pres s while the operation is in progress it will make the offset even. This makes t easier to deal with overlaping beveled corners as you can stop, remove doubles (w>r) and then carry on with alt+s :

Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar.
