How to convert a rectangular plane to a square plane?

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I did an extrusion from a rectangle plane, how could I convert an extruded rectangle to a perfect square?

Help please.

Hi @Anonymous and welcome to the community!

The easiest way to do this is to use the scale tool to move the vertices into a square.

You could also take each vertex and snap them to the grid to make a square and then toggle off snap and move it into place.

Please let me know if this helps or if you need any more assistance!

Hi!

You need a reference object or use the Grid, then use snapping.

Thank you very much, but is there a fast way to do it?

The scale tool doesn't create perfect squares where all sides are equal.

And the snapping by grid is time consuming option.

Hi!

No, there is no faster option.

Hi @Anonymous

Like @mspeer said, the two ways I suggested are your fastest options. Offsetting during an extrude uses the base plane as a reference for what to offset by so the only way it would be a perfect square by default is if you're offsetting an already perfect cube.
