# Examples
The Panel Cutter add-on lets you create designs by just adding edges then using them as panel cuts. Starting with just a simple basemesh, you can quickly turn these into detailed models.
Figure 1
In Figure 1, the basemesh in the left was detailed using the Bevel Type. The panel cuts are made by adding edges using the knife `k`, loop cut and slide `ctrl r` and inset `i` then using some of the newly generated edges from this operation for the panel cut detail.
Figure 2
Using loop cut and slide `ctrl r` to create edges and selecting a pattern from those edges to create the panel cut detail.
Figure 3
Using knife `k` to make edge cuts on faces then using that shape to create the panel cut detail.
Figure 4
Another method you can use to create shapes from faces is using the inset `i` function. You can adjust the edges after the operation for further modifications.
Figure 5
Using the techniques mentioned above, even our default cube can be dressed up nicely in mere minutes.
Figure 6
The Inset type no longer needs to have the edges marked as sharp and the surrounding faces selected - the script now does this automatically and all you need to do is select the edges you want as panel cut details.
Figure 7
Alternatively, you can mark sharp the edges you want as panel cuts so you can plan them better and just use the sharp limit when using the operator.
Figure 8
The Inset type is non-destructive by default and some of the settings can be randomized like the Random Panels operator in [Random Flow.](/add-ons/random-flow.md)
