Loop Tools: Circle, misbehaving?

[Anonymous]

I was under the impression that the "circle" tool in Loop Tools would work the same as Circle / Regularize in other software, but I can't figure out what it's actually trying to do here. The results are always a random mess. 
Can someone please explain what I'm going wrong here? or if this is a bug? (using 2021.3)

Unfortunately, not all softwares support the exact functionality for similarly named tools. Here's a link that shows the 'Circle' tool (skip to 3:45 if you want). I hope this helps.

I see, it seems that Loop Tools can only circle edges where there's an inset around them:

However, using RapidTools with the regularize function, you can turn any selection into a circle, with or without inset:

I hope Autodesk updates Loop Tools

That's right. Looks like you have it figured out now. It's a useful tool.

I've made a robust, detailed and well-illustrated idea on a similar tool implementation as of that of Maya and some scripts (so that others dont have to...) so might worth checking it on the ideas board and maybe vote it
