Modo - Insetting faces except boundary edge

Deforges

I was playing around with blender and one thing I really like and use often is the insetting function with no boundary. So when I select some faces which has an open edge and inset them, it looks something like this 

In modo we have the square corners option for bevel but it doesn't work the same way.



is there any way to get this functionality? It seems trivial but it's a big time saver.

Extrude out from the boundary edge before doing the inset and then delete the extra polys later

I have a feature request in for this option. Until then I wrote a Script that does it called Bolundary Bevel that is part of my Topology Scripts collection:

you've just thought of everything haven't you @WilliamVaughan ?

thanks for let me know about the script!

Its a great feature request that would have saved me extra steps over teh years. Most of my scripts are created to remove those extra steps. Like you say... they seem trivial but once you've done them enough times... you realize how much time could be saved.
