Each tool has various settings associated with it. For example the Inset Faces tool has the following in Blender 3.0:

The inset faces options in blender

When following a tutorial, the teacher does not always show the tool settings they're using. If I can assume that they are using the default settings, how can I make sure my tool settings match? Can I reset the tool somehow? Can I look up the defaults somewhere so I can reset it myself?

Sculpting tools can be reset, but what about others?

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks @MartyFouts that does seem to work (at least for my Inset Faces example)! Would you like to provide that as an answer? $\endgroup$

In the worst case you can reset everything by selecting Load Factor Settings from the Defaults submenu of the File menu.

    $\begingroup$ Worth noting, that some tools have this but some tools can only reset themselves one setting at a time. Easy enough to right click each input and reset it individually though. $\endgroup$

Some values reset to default when you hover over them & hit the Backspace button.

A few tools however are set to zero when you do that, regardless of the default value (I forget which ones). Still, I find the Backspace button very useful for resetting values.
