How do you stop it? Just don't use it :/

Your question is pretty vague. Providing us with more information will help us find a solution.

Hi the problem was that after clicking on the offset edge loop, I only wanted to add one extra line but the tool would not stop, every time I clicked anywhere a new line added. That problem was solved, now my problem is this

How can I select either insert edge loop or offset without this box coming aswell?

Sorry I know I ask a lot of question since signing up here.:(

This box just complicates things. When I practice the offset/inset tool on a simple cube, its pretty straight forward.. Click on a edge and place line where wanted. This box is not necessary :furious:

The "box" is a wireframe of your unsmoothed base mesh. You will get this when using the edge loop tool while in smooth preview mode (3).

You need to press escape to exit the tool.

Hi,

Press ESC, Q or W and you will exit the Inserte Edge Loop Tool.
