Insets

Insets are also called "Perimeters" or "Loops" sometimes. Generating the insets is only a small bit of code, as Clipper does most of the heavy lifting. This is done by layer, volume and layer part by Inset.generateInsets(). The insets represent the polygons that will be filled at the outside (so there is always at least one inset, the outline itself). If there is an insetCount, the outer inset is centred at offset/2 of the outline, otherwise it is centred at the outline itself. The insets are cleaned to remove small segments or empty insets. Very small parts are removed (if they have less than one inset, they will not be printed anyhow).

TBD WipeShield (seems to be used only if create support was set)
