Not sure if this exists or planned but I was wondering if you can extrude edges using the scale tool. Right now it just… scales when holding shift. I just wanted to extrude those edges out in the gif, rather they just scaled. Is there another way to do this with out being stuck to extruding on one axis?

There’s currently no functionality to extrude edges by using the scale tool implemented. I think it would be a good feature to have in the future, thanks for that.
There’re 2 possible way to archive what you want with existing tools:

1. by extrude face

Extrude and scale edges by extruding faces

The process will be: 1. Select faces 2. Extrude with “0” amount and “Keep Original Face” on, “Flip Original Face” off. 3. Scale extruded faces 4. Delete extrude faces 5. Select and flip border faces

2. by extrude edge

Extrude and scale edges by extruding and scaling edges

The process will be: 1. Extrude edges by shift drag 2. Scale 3. Flip inverted faces.
The reason that there’ll be always flipped faces when extruding border edges is the faces generated by extruding edges is view based (always face toward viewer). It’s a known issue/limitation will be addressed in future update.
