How to inset group of faces

Question

Coming from 3ds Max I was wondering if it's possible to inset a group of faces. The result I would like to achieve (using 3ds Max):

This is the result I get using the inset tool in Blender:

Thanks, almost there. This fixes the dimensions of the new faces, but they are still disconnected at the corners. — helmi77, Jan 13 '18 at 14:33
You have duplicate geometry and zero sized faces. Cleanup your mesh by removing doubles before insetting — Duarte Farrajota Ramos, Jan 13 '18 at 14:39

Once you activate the Inset tool Disable "individual"

I messed up the geometry somehow so I had duplicated vertices/faces. Otherwise this would have worked. – helmi77 Jan 13 '18 at 16:20

As pointed out in the comments first I had to apply the scale to the object (Ctrl+A> Scale) and then remove doubles (W> Remove Doubles) for the inset to work as expected.

thats because there where non selected zero faces that result in splits. You can see the points of that faces in your image – HenrikD Jan 14 '18 at 08:07
