Multishift the selection without allowing the corners
to cross, about 344mm for the Inset and 920mm for the Shift. Figure 8.14 shows
the operation.
Figure 8.14 Perform one more Multishift to multiply the selection, but be careful not to
cross the corners.

30. Press Shift+h to select the Size tool. This will automatically turn off the Multishift
tool. Reduce the selection size down to about 80%, as in Figure 8.15.
Figure 8.15 Now that you have additional geometry for the end of object, you can scale it
down.This will help avoid edges and points from crossing over each other as
they would with the Multishift tool.
31. Deselect the ends of the edge polygons, leaving just the nine polygons that make
up the center, as shown in Figure 8.16. If it??™s easier, deselect all polygons, then
select just the center nine polygons.
Figure 8.16 Deselect the small edge polygons in the corners, leaving just nine polygons selected.
32. You need to use Multishift again, but if you kept the edge polygons selected, you
would start to see some serious errors. So, with just the nine polygons selected at
the end of the object, turn on Multishift, and set the Inset to 240mm with a
305mm Shift.
