    Hi all,
    How can I each disconnect all polygons of my icosahdran sphere, then reduce the scale a bit to have slight gap between polygons and then apply some extrusion? Can you share right way of doing these 3 steps?

    – make the sphere editable
    – select all the sphere’s polys
    – select Disconnect BUT do it by the gear that’s beside the word ‘disconnect’ -that gets to the settings for that command
    – for Disconnect there is only one setting, ‘Preserve Groups’ uncheck that
    – now do a Normal Scale
    – now Extrude – right-click or “D” key (with or without Create Caps checked, depending on what you need.

    Hi Brian, Thanks a lot. My bad that I was not trying normal scale, instead I made a few attempts with default scale tool.
