Reference

General Parameters

All spline based shapes share the same General Parameters. See Splines for an explanation of these parameters.

Creation Method

The NGon uses the standard creation methods of Center or Edge. Most spline based shapes share the same Creation Method parameters. See Splines for an explanation of these parameters.

NGon Parameters

GENERATE/NGON42.gif  

Once you have created an NGon, you can make changes using the following parameters:

Radius: Set this to specify the NGon radius.

Inscribed: When selected, the radius is measured from the center to the corners of the NGon

Circumscribed Radius: When selected, the radius is measured from the center to the sides of the NGon.

Sides: Set this to specify the number of sides and vertices used by the NGon. The range for the number of NGon sides is 3 to 100.

Corner Radius: Set this to specify degree of rounding to apply to the corners of the NGon. A setting of 0 specifies a standard unrounded corner.

Circular: Check this to specify a circular NGon.

How To

To create an NGon:

  1. Click NGon.
  2. Choose a creation method.
  3. Press to define the first point of the NGon.
  4. Drag to define the second point of the NGon.
